The BJP, on the other hand, seems to be adamant on implementation of CAA.
Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal without any hesitation and not keeping in heart the anti-CAA sentiments of Assamese people said that CAA will be implemented.
“CAA is a central act and it will be implemented,” said CM Sarbananda Sonowal.
Not only Sarbananda Sonowal, BJP National President JP Nadda also asserted that CAA without doubt will be implemented.
“CAA will be implemented,” said JP Nadda while speaking to the media during the release of BJP’s manifesto for Assam elections on Tuesday in Guwahati.
Earlier on March 20, the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) launched fresh protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Assam. The protesters had raised slogans against the BJP-led government at the Centre and state to scrap the CAA and to implement Clause 6 of Assam Accord.
