Creation of authority to resolve citizenship issue will be counter-productive: Shantaram Naik

Panaji, May 28 (UNI) A day after Minister of State for Home Kiran Rijiju announced that an authority will be set up to deal with dual citizenship in Goa, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) Shantaram Naik today said the move will be counter productive.
In a letter emailed to Mr Rijiju, copies of which were shared with media here, the Senior Congress leader has said that the authority to resolve Goa citizenship issue will be counter-productive and will create chaos in the state on the eve of election.
Stating that response of the minister with respect to the issue was vague and ambiguous, he said it would have been helpful if he had clarified in detail about the decision of the Union Government in this regard.
