Citizenship Law Implementation Once Covid Vaccination Ends: Amit Shah

The wheels of the centre's controversial citizenship law will start rolling once the COVID-19 vaccination is over, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday, in an assurance to a community of Hindu immigrants in West Bengal ahead of elections. The drive to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA will benefit the Matua community, Mr Shah said, among other non-Muslim immigrants who came in from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan before 2015.
