Nath is leading a protest march against the Citizenship Amendment Act in state capital Bhopal. While interacting with media during his protest march, Nath said: “this law (CAA) is a fiddling with the Constitution of our country. I haven’t seen such a law before in my parliamentary career. We are known for bridging the gap between communities ant not for dividing them. We won’t let this law take effect in the state.”
“Today, question is not about what Prime Minister and Home Minister are saying. They are saying different things. Question is not about what is included in the act, it's about what is not included. This is not about its use but of its misuse,” said Nath.
