SAD maintains stand on CAA, should include all religions

New Delhi: Maintaining equality for all religions, the Shiromani Akali Dal on Friday reiterated its stand on the unconstitutional CAA and said it should not specify any particular religion but should be for all religious communities.

“Rather than specifying the religion it should be for all religions, including Muslims, that’s what SAD president Sukhbir Badal had said in Parliament as well,” SAD Rajya Sabha member Naresh Gujral stated, News18 reported.

“We abide by the coalition dharma and that’s why we decided not to contest elections in Delhi, but later the BJP approached us, so we extended support to them,” he added.

“I repeated my party’s stand that all religions, including Muslims, should be included in the CAA,” said another party MP Balwinder Singh Bhunder.

Meanwhile, BJP president J P Nadda on Wednesday said SAD will support his party in the February 8 elections.
