Shantanu Thakur Urges Matuas to Apply for CAA Amidst SIR Process

• Union Minister Shantanu Thakur reiterated his call for Matuas to apply for CAA at the Matua Maha Sammelan in Kalonipara, Naldugri, North 24 Parganas.
• Thakur emphasized that applying for CAA is crucial for obtaining Indian citizenship, stating that existing documents like voter, Aadhaar, or ration cards do not confer citizenship.
• He assured that CAA would resolve the NRC issue and urged Matuas to disregard political opposition, aiming to fulfill Boro Ma's movement.
• Thakur clarified that if Matuas' names are excluded from SIR, the Election Commission would be responsible, not his party.
• He highlighted that applying for CAA, even after SIR exclusion, confirms Indian citizenship, which would then lead to obtaining a voter card.

Why It Matters: Shantanu Thakur strongly encourages Matuas to apply for CAA for Indian citizenship, dismissing political objections.
