Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday said that no one can stop the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as it is the law of the land.
Addressing a closed-door meeting of West Bengal BJP’s social media and IT wing members in Kolkata, Shah said it is the commitment of the party to implement the CAA.
Shah also accused Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of misleading people on the issue. “At times, she tries to mislead the people, the refugees, whether CAA will be at all implemented in the country or not. I want to say this clearly that CAA is the law of the land and no one can stop its implementation. This is the commitment of our party,” he said.
“We have to work to form a BJP government in West Bengal after the next assembly polls. A BJP government will mean the end of infiltration, cow smuggling and providing citizenship to religiously persecuted people through CAA,” he added.
Notably, the CAA was passed by the Parliament on December 11, 2019, and the Presidential nod was received the next day. Subsequently, it was notified by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs. However, the Centre is yet to frame rules for it.
