Panaji: In a complaint to EC, the Goa Congress demanded to file a police complaint against BJP President Amit Shah, accusing him of making a communal statement by “threatening” to weed out all infiltrators in India, barring Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs.  Shah, at an election rally in West Bengal on Thursday, had reportedly said: “We have promised in our manifesto that if Narendra Modi forms government once again, we will implement National Register of Citizens in the entire country. We will remove every single infiltrator from the country, except Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs.”

Sunil Kawthankar, chief spokesperson of the Goa Congress, said: “This is a direct threat to Christians, Muslims and those communities who have not found mention in the BJP leader’s speech…” He said the statement violated Article 25-28 of the Constitution.  Meanwhile, Goa’s former CM late Manohar Parrikar’s son Utpal on Saturday said it has been a “fashion” to say bad things about the former and “talk in the air” about ideologies. Utpal was reacting to a statement by Goa Suraksha Manch mentor Subhash Velingkar the former was a “gentleman” but not “political material”.
