When Assam protests the CAA, Chief Minister Himanta Sarma vows he “will resign if” on the NRC

Published

on

Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Tuesday that he will step down first, even if one person who hasn’t applied for the state’s National Register of Citizens (NRC) is granted citizenship. This comes a day after protests broke out throughout the state in response to the Center’s notification of the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA), according to news agency PTI.

Citizenship for undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan is made possible by the CAA, 2019.

Himanta Sarma reportedly declared, “I am a son of Assam and I will be the first to resign if a single person who has not applied for the NRC in the state gets citizenship,” according to PTI, during a program in Sivasagar.

The demonstrators assert that after the CAA is put into effect, lakhs of individuals would be able to enter the state. “I’ll be the first to protest if this happens,” the chief minister of Assam declared.

Assamese protests against the CAA’s implementation broke out, burning copies of the law along with effigies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, according to news agency PTI.

To express their opposition to the CAA’s implementation, the Congress set copies of the law on fire in several locations throughout the district, and the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) set fire to the prime minister’s and the home minister’s effigies in Lakhimpur.

According to Sarma, citizenship will not be granted to anybody who arrived in India after 2014, and their candidate pool will be “negligible.”

Individuals do not like to identify as outsiders. Three districts in the Barak Valley may submit 50,000–60,000 applications, but the number in the Brahmaputra Valley districts would be insignificant, according to the chief minister.

Sarma stated that the CAA is not new because it was already implemented and that “the time has come for application on the portal.”

The chief minister of Assam said, “The data on the portal will speak now, and it will become clear whether the claims of those opposing the Act stand factually correct or not.”

According to him, Assamese folks would find out within a month whether thousands or lakhs of individuals are requesting to become citizens of the state.

According to the chief minister, “enough has been said on CAA and now it is time to prove the claims,” but he respects both the protestors and the CAA supporters.

According to Sarma, “it will also be evident who was accountable for the five fatalities that occurred during the violent protests in 2019.”

The federal government will now begin awarding Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan who arrived in India up until December 31, 2014, in accordance with the CAA regulations.

These consist of Christians, Parsis, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, and Hindus. Since regulations had not been announced until now, the law could not go into effect.

Congress leader: “Kangana Ranaut once said she likes beef.” BJP retaliates

Published

on

A significant controversy ensued following Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has criticized Maharashtra Opposition and Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar for claiming actor Kangana Ranaut’s post on Twitter about her beef preferences and the BJP’s decision to grant her a Lok Sabha election ticket.

Shaina NC, a BJP leader in Maharashtra, criticised Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar’s comments and other ludicrous remarks made by Congress leaders. She stated that Wadettiwar’s actions, including granting Kangana Ranaut a ticket due to her beef consumption, are not the first time Congress has made such ludicrous remarks.

Shaina criticizes Congress social media in-charge Supriya Shrinate’s post against Ranaut, claiming that Shrinate’s comments and Randeep Surjewala’s discussion about Hema Malini’s attributes are anti-women, despite her age.

Shaina pledged that all women would participate in the voting process, and the results on June 4 would provide a “fitting answer to Congress.”

The Prime Minister of India has ensured respect for women in various political parties, including Triple Talaq and Nari Shakti Vandan. If the Congress party lacks thought processes, the answer will be on June 4 when Indian women vote against the anti-woman Congress party.

Supriya Shrinate’s post that sparked controversy

Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s controversial social media post about actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who received a BJP ticket from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha election, sparked a massive controversy.

Kangana, in response to Shrinate’s post, emphasized that every woman deserves respect and dignity. She shared her 20-year career as an artist, which includes portraying various women, from naive girls in Queen to seductive spy in Dhaakad, goddesses in Manikarnika, demons in Chandramukhi, prostitutes in Rajjo, and revolutionary leaders in Thalaivii.

The Congress leader later revealed that someone with access to her social media accounts had posted objectionable content.

The ruling party is threatening democracy by controlling independent institutions and using them to harass opposition figures, including former Jharkhand and Delhi chief ministers Hemant Soren and Arvind Kejriwal, in an unprecedented attack on democracy.

Fernandes, who previously lost to BJP’s Mauvin Godinho in the 2022 Goa legislative assembly polls, will face Pallavi Dempo, the first woman MP candidate named by the BJP, in the upcoming election.

Khalap represented the north Goa seat from 1996 to 1998, winning it for the Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party.

Khalap, a seven-time MLA, is set to challenge BJP MP Shripad Naik for the North Goa seat, aiming to retain it for a sixth consecutive term.

The party has announced candidates for three seats in Madhya Pradesh and one for the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
