Amit Shah to Implement CAA After COVID Vaccination Drive, Suvendu Adhikari Says

West Bengal BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari said that the home minister had assured him of the CAA's implementation.

West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Suvendu Adhikari said on Tuesday, 2 August, that Home Minister Amit Shah had assured him that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act will be implemented after the completion of the vaccination drive for COVID-19.

The controversial act, which had been met with protests in Delhi's Shaheen Bagh and other cities across the country in late 2019 and 2020, aims to give citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Christians, Buddhists, and Parsis from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
