Kerala’s Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said only parliamentary legislation by a Congress-led INDIA bloc government can annul the “patently anti-Muslim” and schismatic Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
Inaugurating the Congress’s march to Raj Bhavan in Thiruvananthapuram on March 13 to protest against the Centre’s notification of the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, Mr. Satheesan termed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s steady refrain that Kerala would not implement the Central law a “Constitutional improbability aimed at deluding voters in Kerala”.
He pointed out that the States had little role in implementing the divisive CAA.
