CAB and NRC: Here's what Prashant Kishor and Pinarayi Vijayan had to say!

While major parts of India have been quaking with the heated eruptions and stirring with the un-revoking protests with the view of urging the government to abrogate the biased and handicapped Citizenship Amendment Bill, the crucial and important political faces in the country have been fiercely voicing against the implementation of the bill that was consented by the President last week after having a clear and lenient passage in both chambers of the Parliament.

The Chief Ministers of Kerala, West Bengal, and Punjab have opened their scores of standing against the bill and they have said that their respective governments won't be enforcing the bill in their states. With the motive of opposing the bill, the ruling and the opposition parties in Kerala have united in the same line by lowering the political differences to condemn the implementation of the bill.
