Further, minister Kharge attacked Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his statement on Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. Karnataka minister Priyank Kharge said, "Amit Shah is perhaps the most incompetent Home Minister in independent India. How come he has time to comment on CAA and watch his son administer cricket matches in Ahmedabad, but does not want to comment on Manipur or comment on the Parliament security breach issue."

"Instead of trying to divert the topic, he should inform us where the investigation is leading to," he said.

Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that implementing the Citizenship (Amendment) Act cannot be stopped and emphasized that it stands as the established law of the land.
