New Delhi: Chandra Kumar Bose, leader of Bharatiya Janata Party and grandson of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, has given a statement amid the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Chandra Kumar Bose has suggested his party to the BJP and said that people should know about the benefits of the Citizenship Amendment Act. With this, he said that just because we have the numbers today, we cannot do politics of intimidation. News agency ANI quoted him as saying, ‘I have suggested to my party leadership that with a slight amendment the campaign of the entire opposition can be stopped. We need to specifically state that this atrocity is for the minorities, we should not mention any religion. We have to change our perspective.
He has also said, ‘When a bill is passed as a law, it becomes legally binding on the state governments, but in a democratic country you cannot force any law on citizens. Our job is to convince people that we are right and they are wrong. Just because we have the numbers today, we cannot do politics of intimidation. We should tell people about the benefits of citizenship law.
