After meeting PM Modi, Uddhav held a media briefing where he said that the both leaders discussed Citizenship Amendment Act, National Register of Citizens and National Population Register. "I have already cleared my stance on these issues. No one should be scared of CAA," the chief minister said.
"This law (CAA) is not to take away citizenship from anyone. However, this law is about giving citizenship to the minorities of the neighboring countries," he added.
