CHENNAI, DEC 19
The ruling AIADMK has advised its spokespersons not to take part in any debate on television channels regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
The advisory has been issued following the controversy raised over the remarks made by the party’s Rajya Sabha member S.R. Balasubramaniyan in media, in which he had explained why the party supported the Bill in the Rajya Sabha last week.
A Deputy Secretary in the Secretariat had directed him to support the CAB in the Upper House, Balasubramaniam revealed.
