CAA row: Cong leaders, MLAs lash out at Centre, Akalis in Punjab assy

Chandigarh, Jan 17 (UNI) The Narendra Modi government at the Centre, along with their allies, the Akalis, on Friday drew flak from members of the Congress and AAP in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) issue.
Speaking during a discussion on the subject after Cabinet Minister Brahm Mohindra introduced in the Assembly a resolution seeking repeal of CAA, the Congress members thanked Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh for fighting the divisive legislation tooth and nail.
Cabinet Minister Razia Sultana said the Constitution’s founders would have never thought that the cherished ideals enshrined by them would be trampled over in this manner one day. In a democracy, both majority and minority communities are taken along together to ensure the nation's progress, she said, adding that the BJP had persistently been trying to divide people on religious lines.
