After the government announced the repeal of the three farm laws, there have been calls from some quarters seeking withdrawal of the CAA as well.
Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Friday termed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) "fundamentally anti-national" and urged the government not to implement it.
The CAA, which facilitates granting of Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim minorities of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, was passed by Parliament in 2019 and had led to protests in different parts of the country.
After the government announced the repeal of the three farm laws, there have been calls from some quarters seeking withdrawal of the CAA as well.
"The #CAA is fundamentally anti-national & I urge the Govt not to implement it," Mr Tharoor tweeted.
