Amit Shah To Bengal BJP Leader: "Citizenship Law After..."

Amit Shah On CAA: The CAA was passed by Parliament on December 11, 2019, and the Act was notified within 24 hours on December 12
BJP leader from West Bengal Suvendu Adhikari Tuesday urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to implement the citizenship law CAA at the earliest, with the latter assuring him that rules regarding it will be framed after the Covid precaution dose vaccination exercise is over.
The framing of rules for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act will pave the way for its implementation. Passed by Parliament in December 2019, the Act is yet to be rolled out due to the absence of rules. The government has cited the outbreak of pandemic for not framing them so far.
Suvendu Adhikari, the leader of the opposition in the state assembly, told reporters after meeting Amit Shah that he also handed him a list of nearly 100 Trinamool Congress leaders allegedly involved in the recruitment scam in which former West Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee has been arrested.
Seeking a wider probe to expose everyone involved in the scandal, Suvendu Adhikari gave the home minister even letterheads of some TMC leaders, including MLAs, that were purportedly used for recommending certain names for jobs by allegedly taking bribes.
