PUDUCHERRY, MARCH 10
Anti-CAA protests and agitations are politically motivated and nothing else, said the Union Minister of State for Parliament Affairs Arjun Ram Meghwal said here on Tuesday.
The Citizenship Amendment Act came under the central list and hence none could oppose it, Meghwal said, while addressing office bearers of the Puducherry State unit of the Bharatiya Janata party.
He also took strong exception to the governments of Kerala and West Bengal, among others, adopting resolutions against the CAA. Besides these two states, Punjab, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh have also passed similar resolutions.
The Prime Minister and Home Minister had already clarified the actual position and hence all those staging agitations against CAA were doing so “only out of political motives and nothing else,” the minister added.
The minister said he had earlier visited the Aurobindo Ashram and held meeting with Lt Governor Kiran Bedi.
