Guwahati, Mar 14: Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday addressed a press conference on several issues at Lok Sabha Bhawan in Guwahati.
During press conference CM Sarma reacted on CAA. He claimed that the CAA is completely insignificant in Assam, from where there will be the “least number of applications” for Indian citizenship.
Sarma said the act is very clear that the cut-off date for application of citizenship is December 31, 2014 and in Assam, with updating National Register of Citizens. People who applied for it and did not find their names in that list, will only apply for CAA.
The ministry of home affairs had on Tuesday launched a portal for people eligible to apply for Indian citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019.
