Protest as you like but CAA won’t be withdrawn : Shah

'Protest as you like but theCitizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) will not be withdrawn', Union Home MinisterAmit Shah asserted on Tuesday.

The debate on the CAA was a 'fight'between those who wanted the good of the country and those who wanted to "breakthe country into pieces," he said, using the phrase 'Bharat ke tukde' to targetthe CAA critics.

Shah, who was addressing a rallyin support of the CAA, said: "Today I have come to Lucknow to say it aloud thatwhoever wants to protest, can protest, but the CAA won't be taken back."

His comment came as a sit-in bywomen at the Hussainabad Clock Tower hit the fifth day.
