Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has claimed that the Indian Armed Forces can 'defeat' Pakistan in 10 to 12 days.
In his address to the rally at National Cadet Corps rally in Delhi on Tuesday, the Indian prime minister claimed Pakistan has lost three wars against India. "Our armed forces don't need more than 10-12 days to defeat them," Modi claimed.
He further said that Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which the government brought in, is to correct historical injustices and some political parties are opposing it due to vote bank politics. He added that India had promised Hindus-Sikhs and other minorities in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, when it got independence, that they can come to India if they needed, Indian media reported.
Modi has come under harsh criticism not only by his own country but also from the international community after his government brought in the CAA. The act will give citizenship to non-Muslim minorities from three neighbouring countries Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. This means the law will create a legal pathway to grant Indian nationality on the basis of religion.
