I ask you @capt_amarinder to clarify if you are opposed to giving relief to persecuted Sikhs under the #CitizenshipAmendmentAct and whether you are fighting to get the entire Act rejected to end the relief given to Sikhs under the #CAA. /1

Opposing the #CAA does nothing except fulfilling the anti-Sikh agenda of the @INCIndia. If you are really serious about giving relief to persecuted Sikhs in Pakistan and Afghanistan @capt_amarinder you should join the @Akali_Dal_ in seeking inclusion of Muslims in the CAA. /2

Rather than trying to befool Punjabis and create a smoke screen to divert attention from the abysmal failure of your government on all fronts @capt_amarinder you should tell Punjabis how Muslims will gain if the Sikhs are denied benefit under the #CAA. /3

The SAD voted in favour of the #CAB to save Sikhs but gave a dissent note on the issue of exclusion of the Muslims from this Act. We stuck to our stand and preferred to forsake contesting the #DelhiElections2020 rather than giving up our principled stand on this issue. /4

And the @Akali_Dal_ doesn't need any lessons on how to react to a situation from a failed CM. The SAD on its part will continue its struggle to get Muslims included in the ambit of #CAA and also use the good offices of Union minister @HarsimratBadal_ for this purpose. /5
