“Why notify it only days before the Lok Sabha polls are scheduled to be announced? Why did the Centre have to wait for four years to notify the law after it was passed in Parliament? The Centre should have published the notification before leaking it to the press… Why wait for the sundown? This, after all, is not freedom at midnight,” the Trinamool Congress chief said.In 2019, when Home Minister Shah proposed NPR-NRC-CAA combine across the country, several opposition-ruled states had announced that they will not implement either the National Register of Citizens (NRC) or the CAA.Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the move is to polarise the elections, especially in West Bengal and Assam. In a post on X, he said the saffron party took more than four years to notify the rules for CAA. “The PM claims that his government works in a business-like and time-bound manner. The time taken to notify the rules for CAA is yet another demonstration of the Prime Minister’s blatant lies and headline management,” said Ramesh.
