Congress accuses govt of internationalising issue

New Delhi: As the European Union is set to debate a batch of resolutions against India’s amended citizenship law, the Congress on Monday accused the government of having internationalised the issue.
“The fact that the European Union is debating the CAA, this government has internationalised the issue of citizenship law,” senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal said. The powerful bloc of 28 nations is set to debate and vote on a motion tabled by a large chunk of its members against India’s new citizenship law, which it alleges marks a “dangerous shift” in the country’s citizenship regime.
India hopes that the “sponsors and supporters” of the resolutions will engage with the government to get a full and accurate assessment of facts before they proceed further, the sources said. (PTI)
