West Bengal Assembly also passes resolution against CAA

27 January 2020, TON: The West Bengal on Monday became the fourth state to pass a resolution against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Parliamentary Affairs Minister Partha Chatterjee tabled the resolution in the state Assembly, appealing the Union government to repeal the amended citizenship law and also to revoke plans to implement NRC and update NPR.

Three states - Kerala, Rajasthan and Punjab have already passed resolutions against the amended citizenship law.
The law has emerged as the latest flashpoint in the state, in which despite strong opposition by parties, BJP is adamant for its implementation.
