¡®Muslims Will Not Be Affected¡¯, Rajinikanth Faces Backlash For Supporting CAA & NRC
Rajinikanth recently said that CAA is not against Muslims and that they will not be affected by it. Congress parliamentarian Karti Chidambaram slammed him and said that he should not pretend about forming a new party and instead join BJP.
Joining the bandwagon of actors who have taken a stand on the ongoing debate around Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC), megastar Rajinikanth recently said that CAA is not against Muslims and that they will not be affected by it.
"CAA is not against Muslims. Muslims will not be affected. If it affects them, I will come out and lead the protests," he said.
"During partition some Muslims went to Pakistan but many Muslims stayed back calling this as their land. How can they be sent back? I will be the first to raise voice if harm falls their way. Some political parties are doing it for their own benefit."

Responding to this, Congress parliamentarian Karti Chidambaram slammed him and said that he should not pretend about forming a new party and instead join BJP itself.
"As expected parrots the script written by his puppeteers BJP," he said.
No reason for @rajinikanth to pretend that he is going to form a new political party, might as well join the @BJP4India and spare us the charade.

Dear protestors,

Now, even the great RAJNIKANT is stating that the #CAA is not against the MUSLIMS. They won't be affected by it. They are being misled.
At least, now remove all your "insecurities & fears", withdraw your protests and accept the #CAA.?#RajiniWithIndianMuslims
Well said sir.

Rajinikanth is losing his popularity in Tamilnadu because of his sanghi views.
People has identified his true colour will reject him straight away if he starts political party.
He should have just continued to keep silent.

How much money has he taken from BJP?

Rajinikanth urged the students to get detailed information before joining any protest as any police first information report (FIR) registered against them will spoil their future. He also told the students that if they don't do proper research, then the political parties will use them.
When queried about the Sri Lankan refugees, Rajinikanth said they should be given dual citizenship. According to him, National Population Register (NPR) is very essential as it tells who are the foreignors and who are the Indians.Rajinikanth also said that he has not done any illegal business and is a prompt and honest tax payer.
