CPI leader and former JNUSU president Dr. Kanhaiya Kumar said "What the country needs today is freedom from rioters". Addressing an outsized gathering at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan, which also concluded his Jan Gan Man yatra, Dr. Kumar said he wasn't against giving citizenship to someone, but he was certainly against the “business of hatred within the name of giving citizenship.” Dr. Kumar has thus far addressed as many as 62 public meetings within the course of his month-long yatra, covering all 38 districts of Bihar, to make awareness about CAA, NRC and thus the NPR. Dr. Kumar started the yatra from Bhitiharwa Gandhi Ashram of West Champaran district on January 30 with other CPI leaders.
Before addressing the meeting, Dr. Kumar requested all those present to watch a minute’s silence to condole people that died in northeast Delhi’s riots within the last four days. “Today during this country people that chant Gandhi zindabad are sent to jail and people who say Godse zindabad are sent to Parliament… We must remember that the Muslims of this country chose Gandhi and not Jinnah,” he said amid loud cheers and applause from the mostly young crowd.
He expressed surprise that some groups were removing marches and rallies in support of the CAA. “How can one do that when the CAA has become a law now?… Protests by people that are against it's understandable, but by those in support of it is not .” The Britishers, he said, adopted the policy of divide and rule. But this BJP government’s policy was deviate and rule.
