Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the Union government’s decision to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was a strategic move to deport the Rohingya refugees from the country.
Speaking at a rally organised by the Left Democratic Front against the CAA on Kozhikode beach on Friday, he alleged that through the Act India had violated the universal outlook towards refugees and hence has been isolated by the world.
“The United Nations Organisation, Amnesty International and world nations have condemned India’s action of making religion a criterion for citizenship,” he said.
