AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi has said that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) are not "just the issues of Muslims but of the whole country". "The rulers (BJP)...not concerned about falling GDP or economy...but...more concerned about CAA," he added. Akbaruddin further said that India doesn't run on "anyone's ideology".
