Indian politics and parties

Like the faces of a coin, any given subject will have two opinions. While the Indian Parliament has passed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), there have been some revolt from other opposition parties. Being a democratic nation, everyone can have different opinions. Hence actor turned politician Rajanikanth commenting on the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC) is essential for our nation, and is his right. Moreover, as averred by many, NRC is a process undertaken even during the Congress party’s tenure and there should be no aversion to take the Census in 2021. Incidentally, the Centre too has clarified the NRC in the Lok Sabha. Hence, it is a step in the right direction. In our country it has become a practice for the opposition parties, to find fault with the ruling government.
