Tamil Nadu govt refuses opposition demand of resolution against CAA

Op India  

The Tamil Nadu government led by AIADMK on Wednesday clarified in the Tamil Nadu state assembly that no resolution against Citizenship Amendment Act will be adopted because that will be amounting to cheating the public. So, the AIADMK government will check any trouble for minorities including Muslims and Christians.” Udhayakumar also clarified that the central government is yet to respond to the state government’s letter seeking clarifications regarding certain questions in NPR 2020. The state government has, so far, has not issued any notification for NPR 2020.” Referring to parties which had earlier supported the CAA and later changed their stand, Stalin said, “As such, the Tamil Nadu government should adopt a resolution in the State Assembly that the NPR which would pave way for the NRC in future will not be carried out in the state. Hence the state government should adopt a resolution saying NPR in the present format will not be carried out in Tamil Nadu.” Since the ruling party indicated that no resolution will be adopted against CAA, Stalin walked out with his party.
