major issue for Assam, and the government wanted to bring in the Act across the country but have not been able to do so yet,” he said. Show Full Article “Earlier, the government gave the
excuse of COVID, but even now they have not been able to implement it because it is an Act foolishly drafted in a hurry,” he added. Sinha alleged that Constitution was in danger not from any
outside force, but from those in power. “We have to safeguard it,” he asserted. “If I am in Rashtrapati Bhavan, I will ensure that CAA is not implemented,” he said. Sinha was on a day-long
