The Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) of 2019, whose rules were notified on March 11, would be “a fiasco” in Assam, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Thursday.
He underlined the conditions a refugee has to fulfil to predict that Assam would have the lowest number of people applying for citizenship under the CAA.
“It has been four days since the rules for implementing the CAA were notified. There is not a single application on the portal in Assam,” he told journalists while downplaying the sporadic anti-CAA protests in parts of the State.
