The Punjab Legislative Assembly has passed a resolution against the Citizenship Amendment Act demanding withdrawal of this law.

Punjab has become the second state to make such a proposal after Kerala.

On the second day of the special session of the two-day assembly, Punjab government minister Brahma Mohindra moved a resolution against this law.

He said in the motion, "People are on the streets in many parts of the country to protest against this law".

In the assembly, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said that the government cannot implement the discriminatory law in the state.

Amarinder Singh had also opposed this earlier and said that this new law is dangerous for states like Punjab whose borders are with neighboring countries.

He said, "I am worried about the citizenship law because the intruders can use it to come into the country. The border states are more vulnerable than these. Does the central government even know what it is doing."

The Aam Aadmi Party has also supported his proposal in the assembly.

Congress leader P Chidambaram has praised the Punjab government for opposing it.

Earlier on December 31, the Kerala government passed a resolution in the assembly demanding withdrawal of this law.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had also written a letter to the Chief Ministers of 11 states and requested them to pass a resolution against this law.

The Kerala government has also filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of this law.
