Ever since the contentious CAA bill was passed in Lok sabha, people have been protesting against it.
Even though many intellectuals, historians and economists have spoken out against the now Act, BJP’s decision to implement the Act has not deterred.
In fact, Home Minister Amit Shah has gone as far as challenging Rahul Gandhi, Mayawati, Akhilesh Yadav and Mamata Banerjee to debate on the said act.
In response to the Home Minister, journalist Faye DSouza volunteered to take the challenge.
Mr Home Minister,

BJP Karnataka’s official Twitter handle reciprocated the journalist’s request and has accepted her proposition to debate. In the tweet, the party provided an address where they can have the debate.

Preferably HM of GOI or HM of KA,
Let it be aired live on televisions,@fayedsouza will gladly take your challenge.
If @AmitShah has guts he should have faced her as per his challenge, wouldn’t have let his chelas to talk! #Shame
Tone of this tweet is so supercilious. When @fayedsouza responded to HM, she was respectful & courteous. Look at the taunt with which you start your tweet. PM had once said he is “pradhan sewak” of people. You don’t serve(sewa) people with such tone. Disgusting.

@fayedsouza Go there and shut their mouths. It's definitely going to though to tolerate stupids but expose them on camera.

Even though the Home Minister has not responded to the journalist’s request, we’re waiting to see if the debate takes place.
