Prime Minister Narendra Modi defends NPR, CAA, hits out at Opposition

NEW Delhi: With the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act [CAA] agitation having spread to the whole country with Delhi's Shaheen Bagh protests being the fulcrum of dissent against the law, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose the floor of Parliment to pour scorn on the so called ''tukde gang'' associated with the opposition, whom he blamed for provoking the protests against a notified law. In his almost 100-minute speech in the Lok Sabha, the Prime Minister repeatedly took digs and made cryptic comments against Mr Rahul Gandhi and the leader of the Congress in the lower house Adhir Ranjan Choudhury.
