Humanitarian decision: Adityanath
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has welcomed the Centre’s move to announce the implementation of the CAA and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for this “humanitarian decision”.
In his message on social media platform X, the chief minister described the decision to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as “historic”.
“The decision to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act for the welfare of the pidit manavta (suffering humanity) is historic. This has paved the way for a respectable life for the minority communities suffering from religious brutality in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and thanks to Home Minister Amit Shah ji for this humanitarian decision which brings joy to humanity,” Adityanath said in this post.

CAA ka swagat hai: Kapil Mishra
Delhi BJP vice-president Kapil Mishra, who was at the centre of the pro-CAA stir in Delhi in 2020, welcomed the implementation of the contentious citizenship act on Monday, saying the whole country, especially the national capital, paid a big price during protests against the law.
Mishra’s February 2020 speech at Jafrabad against the anti-CAA protests was alleged to have led to the riots that claimed over 50 lives, injured hundreds and caused massive loss of property in north East Delhi.
“The CAA is welcome,” Mishra wrote in a post in Hindi on X. “The entire country, especially Delhi, paid a big price in anti-CAA violence. The Modi government has finally fulfilled the promise made after independence and partition, with the Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist and Parsi citizens of undivided India.”
