Union Home Minister Amit Shah Affirms CAA Implementation Despite Criticism

In a closed-door meeting with the State BJP’s social media and IT wing members on December 26, Union Home Minister Amit Shah stood firm on the implementation of the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). Shah accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of misleading the public on the CAA issue during his address.

Shah asserted, “We have to work to form a BJP government in West Bengal after the next assembly polls. A BJP government will mean the end of infiltration, cow smuggling and providing citizenship to religiously persecuted people through CAA.” He expressed confidence in the BJP’s electoral prospects in West Bengal, aiming for over 35 out of the 42 Lok Sabha seats.

Responding to Banerjee’s opposition to the CAA, Shah stated, “At times, she tries to mislead the people, the refugees, whether CAA will be at all implemented in the country or not. I want to say this clearly that CAA is the law of the land, and no one can stop its implementation. This is the commitment of our party.”

The Trinamool Congress (TMC), led by Mamata Banerjee, has been a vocal critic of the CAA, and the BJP has consistently championed its implementation as a significant electoral promise. The CAA, passed in 2019, seeks to grant Indian citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Critics argue that the law raises concerns about its impact on the secular principles of the nation.
