New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah today visited the local residents in Delhi’s Lajpat Nagar as a part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s door to door campaign to create awareness on Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). He distributed pamphlets among the locals to clear the air around the subject. During his door-to-door outreach campaign, Shah also met Sikh refugees from Afghanistan living in Delhi's Amar Colony. National Working President of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) JP Nadda also held door to door campaign in Vaishali area of Ghaziabad.  The BJP has launched a nationwide door-to-door awareness campaign on Sunday in a bid to gather support for the amended Citizenship Act (CAA).  The ten-day campaign is expected to reach out to three crore families and the BJP leaders will tell the people "how the Congress and other Opposition parties are spreading lies about the CAA and inciting rebellion and anarchy in the country for their politics of appeasement". Earlier in the day Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in Lucknow and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath in Gorakhpur met people from different walks of life to clear the air on the issue. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while campaigning in Lucknow, met retired Justice Khemkaran at his residence to inform him about the CAA. Rajnath Singh urged people not to believe in rumours and misinformation spread by the opposition and others. He said that some opposition parties are trying to mislead people and that the CAA will not impact any Indian citizen. "Our party has decided that we will launch a door-to-door campaign to inform people about the CAA," he said. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath met Chaudhary Kaiful Vara in Gorakhpur and gave him booklet explaining the various aspects of the amended citizenship law.
