Centre trying to destroy social fabric: Punjab CM Amarinder Singh 

Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said the public reaction to the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) was "expected" since the BJP government at the Centre was trying to destroy India's cherished constitutional and social fabric through this draconian legislation. Responding to a question from the media informally outside the Vidhan Sabha, the Chief Minister said the BJP-led central government had failed to factor in the possible reaction of the people in its plans to impose the CAA, as well as the NRC and NPR, on the nation. "Naturally, there had to be a reaction to the Centre's attempt to trample over the country's democratic ideals of socialism and secularism," he said, adding that the people's angst would not end but would only grow bigger till the central government realized its mistake and withdrew the legislation.
