"I am requesting prime minister with folded hand to please take a step back and withdraw CAA. This act is killing the spirit of India. I request the prime minister to leave his arrogance and rollback the act to give a gift to Bapu on his 150th birth anniversary year. Withdrawal of the act will ensure that history will remember Prime Minister Modi. He must appreciate the fact that this protest is by the people of India," Jha said.
"You cannot judge anyone on the basis of his clothes. The people's clothes are made of the fabric of the constitution. Since the act was brought in by the government, the sale of the constitution has increased and people want to know more about the supreme law of the land," he added.

Mahatma Gandhi put into practice teachings from the Gita in his own moral and political actions
Gandhi often thought about the nature of moral and political action through his reading of the Bhagavad-Gita. For him Krishna’s advice to Arjuna emphasised the superiority of duty over choice in defining such action. Arjuna’s horror at killing his friends, relations and preceptors in the army of his enemies, and his desire to flee the battlefield, were rejected by Krishna as futile. Krishna tells Arjuna that such a choice is superfluous, for whether he stays or goes the war will be fought.
