Congress party has cleared its stand on CAA, NPR, and NRC. This is not for the benefit of the country.

No one has to worry if CAA gets implemented. NRC is not there and will not be implemented in the state," he said.Many non-BJP state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, Kerala, Punjab, and Rajasthan have refused to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the NRC in their respective states.
