Shiv Sena’s Stand Not Clear On CAA, NPR And NRC: Ashok Chavan

Mumbai: Congress leader Ashok Chavan took dig at Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray and said, Shiv Sena’s stand is not clear on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Population Register (NPR) and National Register of Citizens (NRC), adding that the issue will be taken by Maharashtra coordination committee.

Speaking to ANI news agency, “There is a three-party alliance government in Maharashtra. Congress party has cleared its stand on CAA, NPR, and NRC. This is not for the benefit of the country. It seems that Shiv Sena’s stand is still not clear on CAA, NPR, and NRC.”

“If there is any dispute, Maharashtra coordination committee, which has leaders from three parties will discuss this and sort it out,” he told ANI.

Chavan called his meeting with Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi a “courtesy meeting”.

Maharashtra CM Thackeray said that if the CAA will not be implemented in the state, then there is no need to worry that NRC will not be implemented in the state.

“Both the CAA and NRC are different and the NPR is different. Nobody worries when the CAA is implemented. The NRC is not there and will not apply in the state,” he said.

Many non-BJP state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab, and Rajasthan have refused to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the NRC in their respective states.
