There has been an overwhelmi­ng response to the resolution passed in the Legislativ­e Assembly regarding CAA, NPR and NRC. Not only leaders from several parties, even the general public appreciate­d the state government’s move while organisati­ons against the Union Government’s ‘unilateral’ acts welcomed the move and demanded the government to put a stay on NPR.

Convener Telangana-AP Joint Action Committee against CAA and NPR Mohammed Mushtaq Malik appreciate­d the

Chief Minster K. Chandrashe­kar Rao (KCR) for passing a comprehens­ive resolution against the CAA, NPR and NRC and hoped that he would ensure that NPR will not be conducted in its present form. In a swift reaction, he also announced withdrawal of their call to lay siege of the Assembly buildings that was scheduled for March 19. He said that they would observe it as a day of invocation and thanksgivi­ng.

State President Jamaat-e Islami Hind, Moulana Hamid Mohammed Khan, asked the government to issue a G.O to hold the process of census and NPR on par with Kerala and Delhi as there is no mention in the resolution about putting a stay on the NPR exercise in the state.
