Chandigarh, Dec 12 (UNI) Terming the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) as a direct assault on the country's secular character, Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh on Thursday said that his government would not allow the legislation to be implemented in his state.
Asserting his commitment to the protection of Constitutional ethos of the country, Capt Singh said the Congress, which has a majority in the State Assembly, would block the unconstitutional Bill in the House.
His government, on it's part, would not let the legislation rip apart the secular fabric of the country, whose strength lies in its diversity, said the Chief Minister, a day after the controversial Bill was also passed in the Rajya Sabha.
