On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi’s 72nd death anniversary, there was an event at the Gandhi Bhavan memorial in Pune. Urmila Matondkar was also present and while addressing the topic of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), she compared it to the infamous Rowlatt Act 1919. At the event, she said, “After the end of the Second World War in 1919, the British knew that unrest was spreading in India and that may rise after the Second World War was over. So, they brought a law commonly known as the Rowlatt Act. That 1919 law and the Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 will be recorded as black laws in history.”

Urmila might have not read much about world history and instead of World War I, she said World War II. It was after the end of World War I in 1918, the British passed this act in 1919. News agency ANI has posted the video of Urmila’s speech and Twitterati has trolled her left, right and centre for the goof up.
