After Kerala and Punjab, Rajasthan passes resolution against Citizenship Act

The Rajasthan Assembly has passed a resolution against the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), news agency ANI has report.

Congress-ruled Rajasthan will be the third state to do so after Kerala and Punjab.

Mamata Banerjee-led West Bengal has also summoned a special Assembly session on January 27 to pass a resolution against CAA, which has caused widespread protests across the country.

Earlier this week, the Supreme Court had refused to put a stay on the Citizenship Act, and had given the Centre four weeks to respond to the petitions challenging the law.
