Following a Kerala Assembly resolution demanding that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) be scrapped, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday wrote to 11 non-BJP CMs, including Naveen Patnaik, asking them to take similar steps against the law.
The States, which want that the CAA should be repealed, can also consider Kerala-type steps, Marxist veteran Vijayan said.
Vijayan sent an identical letter to CMs Mamata Banerjee (West Bengal), Arvind Kejriwal (Delhi), Hemant Soren (Jharkhand), Uddhav Thackeray (Maharashtra), Nitish Kumar (Bihar), YS Jaganmohan Reddy (Andhra Pradesh), Kamal Nath (Madhya Pradesh), Amarinder Singh (Punjab), Ashok Gehlot (Rajasthan) Naveen Patnaik (Odisha) and V Narayanasamy (Puducherry).
