Opposition AIADMK staged a walkout over issues they tried to raise during the zero hour.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly on Wednesday adopted a resolution urging the Centre to repeal the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 to "protect and ensure unity and communal harmony and uphold the secular principles" enshrined in the Constitution. The Centre should also fully give up its initiatives related to preparation of the National Population Register and National Register of Citizens, Chief Minister MK Stalin said in his initial remarks on the CAA and ahead of proposing the resolution. Tamil Nadu became the eighth State to pass a resolution against the CAA, while neighbouring Kerala and Puducherry were the first State and first union territory respectively to go against the Centre's 2019 amendment law on citizenship. The Union Territory was under Congress rule last year.More Related News
