Jaipur: Congress-ruled Rajasthan became the first state in the country on Saturday to pass a resolution against not only the new citizenship law CAA, but also against National Register of Citizens and National Population Register. So far, only Kerala and Punjab have passed resolutions against CAA.
State Parliamentary Affairs Minister Shanti Dhariwal presented the resolution in the Assembly amid sloganeering by opposition BJP MLAs, many of whom stormed the well of the House.

The resolution says the Citizenship Amendment Act “flouts the basic nature of the Constitution and a substantial section of the people believes that NPR and NRC have the same base. The Census should continue only after taking back the new provision as introduced in the NPR”.
