CAA: Karnataka may implement it first

Deccan Chronicle  

Bengaluru: While there are strong protests around the country against the Citizen Amendment Act, Karnataka, which has a large number of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants and is ruled by the BJP, is all set to lead in their implementation as early as the first week of January and “set an example” to other states, according to sources. The Union home ministry has reportedly already asked the Yediyurappa government to take measures to enforce the controversial legislation in the state in the face of the growing protests. With the protests snowballing, the Centre reportedly wants to implement the law in BJP- ruled states to show that they are not against the interests of either Indian Muslims or those seeking refuge in India due to religious oppression from the three neighbouring Islamic countries. In Karnataka, it is not just Bengaluru and its surrounding districts that are dealing with Bangladeshi immigrants, but also the coffee growing region of Malnad, including Kodagu, Sakaleshpur and Chikkamagaluru, where the local population is migrating in large number to cities in search of jobs, leaving an acute labour problem behind.
