GUWAHATI: Amid protest across Assam against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), Union Home Minister Amit Shah on December 17 asserted that there was no question of going back on its implementation.
The Minister said that there was nothing against minorities in the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and has received Presidential approval.
"There is no going back on Citizenship Act, the government is firm like a rock on its implementation," said Shah amid demand by opposition parties for withdrawal of what they called an "unconstitutional and divisive" law.
In the meanwhile, a three-judge Bench led by Chief Justice of India Sharad A. Bobde is scheduled to hear around 60 petitions challenging the validity of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act on December 18.
