Former Congress leader Urmila Matondkar blooper on World War II date; compares CAA with British era act

Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar is hitting headlines after she said that Second World War ended in '1919'. Not just this she also compared the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) with the Rowlatt Act during the event on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.

The Second World War took place between 1939 and 1945. However, Urmila has something else to say on this, she said, "after the end of the Second World War in 1919, the British knew that unrest was spreading in India and that it could increase after the Second World War was over. So, they brought in a law commonly known as the Rowlatt Act," Matondkar said addressing an event here on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi,” as per ANI report.

She further added that the CAA and Rowlatt Act will be ‘recorded as black laws in history.’ Talking about Mahatma Gandhi she said that Gandhi was the leader of one country rather of the whole world and the man who killed him neither Muslim nor Sikh rather a Hindu.
