CAA Stance By Union Home Minister Not acceptable Says AASU

GUWAHATI: The Union Home Minister in a recent interview made his remarks over CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) stating that the act will be implemented after the global pandemic COVID-19 ends in the country.

He vowed that when the covid situation gets better the government won't backtrack on it.

On this statement by the Home Minister, the All Assam Student Union (AASU) has reacted strongly saying that this outlook over CAA by Amit Shah is not at all acceptable.

AASU president Dipankar Kumar Nath stated that the motive behind the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over such remarks is to win votes. He said that BJP is once again making efforts to gain a huge number of votes from a particular community by using CAA just like the party did in the West Bengal election.

But the people of West Bengal then rejected their divisive politics and now when elections are going to take place in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, BJP is using CAA as a tool to collect votes.

Nath further warned BJP saying that the ruling party must know the kind of resistance it will face in case if Citizenship Amendment Act is implemented and this is the reason they have not framed the rules to implement it.

The AASU president further made it clear that if the government frames rules on CAA, the organization will fight against it in the court and this fight will get into the streets.

AASU chief advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya over the matter said that northeastern states are not the dustbin of illegal Bangladeshis.

Peasant leader and Sivasagar MLA, Akhil Gogoi stated that there is no law in any country to give citizenship to illegal foreigners and settle them.

Gogoi in warning the centre of not framing rules on CAA said that the decision of implementing CAA is not acceptable whether the covid pandemic exists or not it doesn't matter.

As many as 100 organizations and political parties including many from Assam have challenged the act in the Supreme Court of India.
