Why did you change? Why are you spreading rumours? Elections come & go. Why are you scared? Modi says at Ramlila Maidan

There is a very simple difference, an infiltrator never reveals his identity and a refugee never hides his identity. Many of these infiltrators are coming out and speaking. Why don't they speak the truth? They are scared that their reality will come out: PM Modi

I am very confident that those who are standing with the tricolour in their hands will also raise voice against Pakistan sponsored terrorism. They will inspire people to do that: PM Modi

Mahatma Gandhi had said that the Sikhs and Hindus living in Pakistan will always be welcome in India. This Act is in line with promise the Govt of India made in 1947. Now that we're fulfilling the decades-old promise, why are they protesting against it?: PM at Ramlila Maidan

Who understands the pain of refugees better than people of Delhi? Citizenship Act is not taking away anyone's citizenship. It, in fact, provides citizenship to the religiously persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh: PM Modi

Infiltrators never come in light. They never ask for help from the police, never give interviews and just hide. They live via corrupt means through agents. Refugees never hide their identities and infiltrators never reveal themselves: PM Modi

I request the youth of the country to read the Act in detail and not to fall prey to the rumors of detention-centers being spread by Urban Naxals and Congress. It's a lie and is dividing the nation: PM Modi

There is no detention centre in India for Muslims: PM Modi in Delhi's Ramlila Maidan 

CAA and NRC has nothing to do with Indians Muslims. India has no detention centre.

CAA is not for any citizen of this country. There has been misinformation about NRC. Congress and urban naxals are spreading rumour. They are lying that Muslims will be sent to detention centres: PM Modi
