Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet on Wednesday passed a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act and sought its abrogation, contending the new law was against the Constitution’s secular character.
The resolution was passed during the state Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Kamal Nath, public relations department minister P C Sharma told reporters. Madhya Pradesh is currently ruled by the Congress.
Kerala, Punjab, Rajasthan and West Bengal have already passed resolutions demanding scrapping of the CAA. Sharma said the Madhya Pradesh Cabinet passed the resolution describing CAA as “against the secular character of the Indian Constitution and differentiating people on religious lines”.
The Citizenship Amendment Act passed by Parliament in December last year endangers the “country’s secular fabric and tolerant nature,” the minister said. “Secularism is the basic foundation of the Indian Constitution and which can’t be changed. It is clearly mentioned in the Constitution that India is a secular country. Besides, Article 14 of the Constitution grants equality to all citizens of the country under the law,” reads the resolution by the state Cabinet. (PTI)
