States Opposing CAA are Going Against the Law: Nirmala Sitharaman

  • Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman dubbed the proposal of some states to not implement the CAA as 'unconstitutional'.
     
  • She said that it was the responsibility of all states to ensure that the law passed in the Parliament is executed.
     
  • She further added, "Saying that they will not implement it, then it is against the law."
     
  • ."A state assembly can pass resolution that they will not implement CAA. It is a political statement. They can go ahead and we will not say no to that.”, she stated.

  • Congress leader Kapil Sibal had also said there was no way a state can deny implementation of CAA when it has already been passed by Parliament.
