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.

"We said that the CAA will be repealed in the first Cabinet meeting of the new INDIA alliance government and we are committed to fulfilling our promise," he said.
