Mumbai (Maharashtra): Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that he discussed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) in his meeting with the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and no one should be scared of the new Citizenship law.

"We have discussed the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens and National Population Register. I have already cleared my stance on these issues. This law (CAA) is not to take away citizenship from anyone. However, this law is about giving citizenship to the minorities of the neighbouring countries. No one should be scared of CAA," Thackeray said at the press conference after meeting Prime Minister.
