The Morning Standard|April 08, 2024
AS the Congress faces flak from some of the constituents of the opposition alliance over its silence on scrapping the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), senior Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi on Sunday asserted that the INDIA bloc will repeal the contentious legislation if it comes to power in 2024.

Curiously, the Congress, one of the fierce opponents of the Citizenship law implemented by the Modi government ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, did not make any mention of scrapping CAA in its manifesto, which was unveiled on Friday.

The manifesto was heavily focused on social justice, youth, women, farmers, the Constitution, the economy, federalism, and national security.

Speaking to this newspaper, Lok Sabha MP from Assam and the party's deputy leader in Lok Sabha, Gogoi said the Congress is committed to repealing the CAA as promised by Rahul Gandhi in 2019. "We said that the CAA will be repealed in the first Cabinet meeting of the new INDIA alliance government and we are committed to fulfilling our promise," he said.
