Union MoS for Home Ajay Mishra has recently announced that the final draft of the legislation is expected to be ready by March next.
Day after the announcement, the opposition has that they will oppose any move by the central government to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). People of Assam will not tolerate any kind of law which is against the provisions of the Assam Accord of 1985.
Congress MP Abdul Khaleque said, “India provides assistance to Bangladesh with open hands but it cannot exert pressure on their government to ensure protection of Hindus. Rather, our BJP government is trying to bring the Hindus here in the pretext of religious persecution.”
On the other hand, Assam assembly Debabrata Saikia said the Congress will resist CAA as it is against the provisions of the Assam Accord.
