Tamilnadu Assembly passes resolution against CAA

The Tamilnadu Assembly today adopted a resolution urging the Centre to scrap the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The resolution moved by Chief Minister M K Stalin was unanimously passed by voice vote, amid a walk out by the principal opposition AIADMK and its ally, the BJP.

Stalin said the DMK had been opposing the CAA right from the start and it was against the secular principles of the Constitution and plurality of the country.

Observing that CAA discriminates people on religious lines and affects the spirit of unity of the country, he also urged the Union goverment to drop plans to preparing the National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) on the basis of CAA.

Stalin said religion is not a base for getting citizenship and no law can be brought based on religious lines.
