    'CAA will be implemented after covid-19 pandemic ends': Amit Shah

    Amit Shah announced it while speaking to a gathering today in Siliguri, West Bengal. During his speech, Shah stated that the BJP would not rest until TMC's tyranny was overthrown and democracy was restored in Bengal.


    Digital Desk: Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that after the Covid-19 wave is over, the Centre will apply the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) on the ground.


    "The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is a reality, and it will be implemented shortly," the Union Home Minister said, signalling that the contentious citizenship law is once again on the Centre's agenda.


    Amit Shah announced it while speaking to a gathering today in Siliguri, West Bengal. During his speech, Shah stated that the BJP would not rest until TMC's tyranny was overthrown and democracy was restored in Bengal.


    He also said that the saffron party would continue fighting against the 'cut-money' culture (extortion), corruption, and political violence.


    The ruling TMC in Bengal has been accused of "spreading canards" about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, which Shah claims will be implemented once the Covid-19 pandemic is over.


    "I wish to thank the people of north Bengal for increasing the BJP's representation in the Bengal Assembly from three to 77.  The BJP will not rest until the TMC's oppressive rule is overthrown," he added.


    "We had thought that after getting re-elected for the third time, Mamata Banerjee would change her attitude. We waited an entire year for her to modify her behaviours, but she did not. The ruler's law reigns supreme in the state," he stated.


    According to the Union Home Minister, Banerjee "always misled Gorkhas for selfish political purposes." "Didi has been deceiving Gorkha brothers and sisters for years. Today, I've come to inform them that the BJP is the only political party that cares about Gorkhas, "he stated


    "Within the constraints of the Constitution, we have offered assurance that a permanent political solution to all problems will be found," he said.


    In late 2019 and early 2020, months before the Covid outbreak triggered lockdowns and other restrictions, the CAA was at the centre of enormous protests in the country.


    The rule, widely criticised as biased since it makes religion a component in nationality, aims to expedite citizenship for non-Muslim immigrants who arrived in India before 2015 from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.


    Critics claim that the law, together with a proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), will result in the deportation of thousands of Muslims. On the other hand, the Centre claims that no Indian citizen will lose their citizenship.
