GUWAHATI: West Bengal became the fourth state on Monday, January 27, to pass a resolution against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in its assembly.
Prior to West Bengal, Rajasthan, Kerala and Punjab too had passed a resolution against CAA. It is to be mentioned that Kerala was the first state to pass a resolution against the law on the grounds that it "violates the fundamental principles of the Constitution and it has great significance."
This was followed by Punjab which passed the resolution against the contentious Act on January 17. Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh had said that his government would not allow the implementation of the "brazenly divisive CAA".
