Speaking on the controversial CAA, he stated that although Banerjee has been against it, nobody can halt its implementation, which has been put on hold while the central government draughts new regulations in response to the opposition’s adamant resistance to the law. Speaking on the law’s intended beneficiaries, Shah stated that they were entitled to citizenship just like everyone else.
