Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a public rally in Jharkhand’s Sahibganj on Dec 17 where he chanted the slogan ‘Jharkhand pukara BJP dobara’. He said, “There is only one voice in the state - 'Jharkhad pukara BJP dobara'. This voice has strengthened because 'lotus' has ensured development in the state. When 'lotus' blossoms, youth, women, old, tribals, the backward areas are benefitted.”

He said that Citizenship (Amendment) Act doesn’t snatch away any right of an Indian citizen or causes any harm. He said, “Congress and its allies are instigating Muslims for political purpose. These people are spreading lies violence in the country. Citizenship Amendment Act doesn’t snatch away any right of an Indian citizen or causes any harm.”

PM said, “Indian Constitution is our only holy book. I request the students in colleges and universities of this country to understand their own importance, understand this important time of their lives, understand the importance of their educational institutions. I appeal to youth in colleges to debate our policies, protest democratically. We will listen to you. But some parties, urban naxals, are firing off your shoulders.”
