MUMBAI: The Maharashtra assembly on Saturday witnessed uproarious scenes when opposition BJP raised the issue of the CAA, NRC and NPR. The treasury benches objected to the issue of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC) and National Population Register (NPR) being raised. The issues pending before the Supreme Court and falling under the Union government's purview can not be discussed in state legislature, they said.During the ruckus, both sides traded charges. The Speaker ordered expunging of most of these remarks.Leader of opposition Devendra Fadnavis raised the issue during a debate on budgetary demands of the Home Department . The CAA does not take away the citizenship of Indian citizens, “but rumours are being spread about CAA,” he said. “In NPR, giving information is optional. The prime minister has already said the NRC is not being implemented,” Fadnavis, a former chief minister, said.Home minister Anil Deshmukh said the BJP leader should speak only on the budgetary demands. Minority affairs minister Nawab Malik said Fadnavis himself had said during the winter session that issues under the Centre’s purview should not be discussed in the House.BJP’s Sudhir Mungantiwar said Fadnavis had not spoken anything negative. “We want misconceptions about the Act to go and there should not be any unrest,” he said. Malik and food and civil supplies minister Chhagan Bhujbal said the issue of CAA was being heard in the Supreme Court and it could not be discussed in the House. Speaker Nana Patole adjourned the House for 30 minutes when members from both the sides rushed to the well and traded charges.
