The Tamil Nadu chief minister said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act discriminates against certain groups of people, such as Muslims and Sri Lankan Tamil refugees.
Chief Minister MK Stalin asserted on Wednesday that the DMK government would never allow the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) to be implemented in Tamil Nadu, as it discriminates against certain groups of people such as Muslims and Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in the country.
Mr Stalin, who is on a foreign tour to attract investments to the state, cited Union Minister Shantanu Thakur's assertion on January 29 that the CAA would be rolled out within seven days across the country, and blamed the state's main opposition AIADMK for voting in favour of the amendment when it was taken up in Parliament.
Expressing his stance on social media platform X, Chief Minister Stalin criticised the opposition AIADMK, saying if it were not for that party's support to the Citizenship Amendment Bill, it may not have become a law. He pointed out that the legislation discriminates against Sri Lankan Tamil refugees and Muslims.
