BJP leader Ashish Shelar on Friday wrote to Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray seeking immediate implementation of the "historic" amended Citizenship Act in Maharashtra. He also urged Thackeray to clarify his government's position after Congress leader and minister Nitin Raut pitched against implementing the law in the state.
"As you are aware, the historic Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed by both the Houses of the Parliament. It should be immediately implemented in Maharashtra as well once it comes in effect in the rest of the country after the President gives assent to it," Shelar said in the letter sent on Friday.
Shelar, who represents the Bandra West Assembly constituency, said the law is in the interest of the country.
