After Telangana Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens (NRC) will not be implemented in the state, BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri has said that by growing beard one doesn't become a secular and such people should be thrown out of the political system.

"Uttam Reddy is saying that CAA-NRC will not be implemented in the state. By growing beard one doesn't become a secular. There is only one secular party in the country. How is giving refuge to Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingyas being secular? Such people should be thrown out of the political system. Only the CM can give clarification on this," he said.

"It is being implemented in the country and is the law here, If you don't want to implement then resign and go home. This is very dangerous. Such people should be thrown out of Country's political system," he added.

Earlier, speaking at an Iftar party in Kodad, Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the Congress government will not implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) nor the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Telangana.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court issued notice to the Centre on the applications seeking a stay on the Citizen Amendment Rules 2024, brought to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019.

A bench of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra asked the Centre to respond within three weeks and will take up the hearing on April 9, 2024.

CAA, passed by Parliament on December 11, 2019 and getting the President's assent the following day, met with protests all across the country. The CAA came into effect on January 10, 2020. (ANI)
