Jaipur: Following the lines of Kerala and Punjab, the Congress government in Rajasthan will also bring a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act in the Assembly, said Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot on Thursday.
Speaking to reporters, Pilot said, "Everyone has the right to express their dissent. Our government will also bring a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act in the State Assembly."
With this, Rajasthan will become the third state after Kerala and Punjab to pass a resolution against the contentious Act, which has triggered nationwide protests.
CAA provides for granting citizenship for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians, who had migrated to India before December 31, 2014 but not to members of the Muslim community.
