Ramaswami: The Prime Minister in his speech on Dec 22 said that the Congress and the CPI(M) had demanded a law for the “minority communities from Bangladesh” but have now done a U-turn. They quote a resolution passed by the 20th Party Congress in 2012 as well as a letter from then General Secretary Prakash Karat. The Truth: It is wrong to conflate concern for the rights of deprived sections to a toxic policy of exclusion from citizenship rights as is being done by the Modi Government.
