BJP organised a Holi event at its party office for Hindu refugees from Pakistan as well as Sikh and Hindu refugees from Afghanistan, at its party office

The Delhi Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders organised a Holi event for the beneficiaries of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), 2019, including Hindu refugees from Pakistan as well as Sikh and Hindu refugees from Afghanistan, at its party office in Pant Marg, even as the Act evoked mixed reactions from several groups across the national capital.

Many groups have been protesting against the Centre’s notification on the implementation of CAA on Monday, calling it discriminatory based on religious grounds. However, BJP along with other right-wing groups have been organising meetings to justify the implementation of CAA and explain its processes.

Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva honoured the refugees and celebrated the day by smearing gulal (coloured powder) on each other. The refugees handed over a letter to Sachdeva expressing their gratitude to the Prime Minister, party functionaries said.
