Oppn misleading people about CAA: Tripura BJP

Agartala: The Tripura unit of BJP on Thursday accused the opposition of misleading people about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, asserting that the law will not be implemented in areas where the Sixth Schedule and Inner Line Permit (ILP) are in force.The assurance came days after the Adivasi Congress, the tribal unit of the “grand-old party”, submitted a memorandum to Tripura chief secretary J K Singh, expressing concerns over the implementation of the controversial Act. The CPM, which ruled the state for around 35 years, also expressed concerns over the issue.“The opposition parties are trying to mislead people regarding CAA... the Act is very clear about giving citizenship to minorities fleeing religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan,” BJP state unit chief Rajib Bhattacharjee told media persons.“The Act will not be implemented in areas where the Sixth Schedule and ILP are enforced,” he added.He asserted that the law, if implemented in Tripura, will not cause any adverse impact on the northeastern state's socio-political scenario. “We strongly condemn the opposition parties’ move to oppose CAA... we appeal to the people not to be misled by their negative campaign,” Bhattacharjee added. pti
