Communist Party of India (CPI) Rajya Sabha MP and CPI Kerala State Secretary Binoy Viswam on Thursday said that CAA will be combatted legally and politically. He approached the Supreme Court challenging the implementation of the CAA on Thursday.
“Provisions of the CAA are prima-facie against the secular tenets of our Constitution and we have approached the Supreme Court requesting to halt the implementation of the dreaded law, which goes against the inclusive fabric of Indian society”, he said.
Binoy Viswam in a statement said that the CPI has been steadfastly opposing CAA from the initial period itself.
“During the discussion in Parliament on the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) 2019, I criticized the proposed amendment to citizenship laws in the country and said that the Bill intends to fulfil Guru Golwalkar’s fascist aspiration of treating Muslims as second-class citizens in India,” he said.
