'CAA internal matter of India, will continue to engage with MEPs'

As the European Parliament postponed the voting on the anti-CAA resolution, New Delhi said that it will continue to engage with the MEPs, the European Parliament and other stakeholders in this matter.

New Delhi: Asserting that the CAA is an internal matter of India, the ministry of external affairs said that it has noted the European Parliament's decision to not put to vote a resolution on the citizenship law on Thursday and will continue to engage with the MEPs on the issue.

Ministry of external affairs' spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said that New Delhi has noted the European Commission's clarification that the EU Parliament's views don't reflect the official position of the grouping.

"As I have mentioned earlier, CAA is an internal matter of India. It has been adopted though due process and democratic means," Kumar said.

"We will continue to engage with the MEPs, the European Parliament and other stakeholders in this matter," he said.
