Siliguri: Union Home Minister Amit Shah made it clear on Thursday that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will be implemented in the country as soon as the COVID-19 wave ends.
Speaking at a rally in Siliguri, Shah hit out at the Trinamool Congress (TMC) for spreading rumours.
“TMC is spreading rumours about CAA.. that it won’t be implemented on ground. But I am telling you that we’ll implement CAA the moment COVID wave ends… Mamata Didi wants infiltration… CAA was, is and will be a reality,” said Shah who is on a two-day visit to West Bengal.
CAA was passed by both houses of Parliament in December 2019.
The Citizenship Act of 1955 was amended to provide citizenship to Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis and Christians who came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014.
Shah had said last year that CAA will be implemented after COVID-19 vaccination is completed. BJP president JP Nadda has also said that CAA got delayed by the pandemic but will soon be implemented.
