Union Minister Shantanu Thakur, BJP MP from Bongaon, states the swift implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in the country within seven days. Thakur, also a Matua community leader, emphasizes the CAA's implementation, aiming to grant Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries. The Matua community, with a significant presence in West Bengal, is expected to benefit from the CAA. The remarks draw strong reactions from the ruling Trinamool Congress, opposing the divisive nature of the CAA. Thakur's statements come amidst speculation about notifying CAA rules before the Lok Sabha election.
