Rupani said "There were 22 per cent hindus in pakistan at the time of Partition (in 1947). Now, due to persecution, rapes and constant torture, their population has reduced to just 3 per cent. That is why hindus want to come back to India. We are doing what the india NATIONAL CONGRESS' target='_blank' title='congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">congress was supposed to do to help these distressed Hindus. And when we are doing it now, you are opposing it". Furthermore he said the hindu population has shrunken to just 2 per cent in Bangladesh.
He asked "Out of 2 lakh hindu and Sikh residents in afghanistan some decades back, their number is just 500 today. muslims can go to any of the 150 countries, but there in only country for the hindus, and that is India. So what is the problem if they want to come back?". He added " gandhiji was also of the opinion that india should grant citizenship to hindus and Sikhs of Pakistan. Even manmohan singh had supported such proposal when he was the PM (under the india NATIONAL CONGRESS' target='_blank' title='congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">congress rule). The india NATIONAL CONGRESS' target='_blank' title='congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">congress must explain to the nation why the party is opposing the caa now". Also without taking names, Rupani also targetted Dalit leaders and outfits opposing the new citizenship law.
