HYDERABAD: Backing the government’s move to pass a resolution against CAA, NPR and NRC, AIMIM floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi urged the government to put on hold the NPR work in the State. He urged the Chief Minister to issue a GO staying the NPR and notify separate dates for Census.
Akbaruddin said the CAA was a law that not only divides the country, but also weakens it. “A person marked as ‘doubtful’ is not even treated as a foreigner. Only a person who is alleged to be a foreigner will go to a Foreigners’ Tribunal. Then what will happen to the persons marked as ‘doubtful’?” he asked.
Congress MLA Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, while supporting the resolution, wanted the State government to issue a GO on the lines of Kerala government, to put NPR work on hold.
Meanwhile, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi thanked Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao for adopting a resolution against the CAA.
Owaisi tweeted, “Telangana has adopted the most comprehensive resolution against #CAA_NRC_NPR among all Indian states. On behalf of United Muslim Action Committee & all people of Telangana, we must thank @TelanganaCMO for his commitment to our constitutional values.”
