Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan came down heavily on the stances adopted by the Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
Speaking after inaugurating a public meeting of the Left Democratic Front (LDF) in connection with the Lok Sabha election here on Saturday, Mr. Vijayan said the BJP was creating a state of hostility and hatred in the country though the Act. He slammed the Congress for not taking a proper stance against the Act, adding that Congress leader and Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi failed to utter a single word on it.
The Congress had always taken a stand to support the BJP in matters that adversely affected the country, from abrogation of Article 370 to CAA, the Chief Minister said.
