Kunwar Danish Ali, a BSP MP from Amroha, has also urged for the removal of the CAA "without further delay".
New Delhi: Following Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement that agricultural laws will be repealed, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, a major Muslim organisation, has requested the government to remove the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as well.
BSP MP Kunwar Danish Ali on his official Twitter handle writes, "Repealing 3 Farm Laws is a welcome move. I congratulate farmers for their willpower to fight, sacrifice and defeat the mighty state power and their crony capitalist friends."

Prime Minister Modi must also examine and remove the CAA "without further delay," he said.
The news of the repeal of the three farm rules was hailed by Jamiat President Maulana Arshad Madani, who praised the farmers for their "success."
Mr Madani said that every attempt was made to suppress the farmers' movement, just as it was with all other agitations in the nation.
He claimed in a statement posted by the Jamiat group commanded by him that conspiracies were developed to split the farmers, but they continued to make all kinds of sacrifices and stayed solid in their position.
Mr Madani also requested that the CAA, like the agri-laws, be repealed.
He claimed that the decision to repeal the farm laws demonstrated the importance of democracy and people's power.
The CAA went into effect on January 10, 2020, after being informed on December 12, 2019.
Following the passage of the CAA by Parliament, there were massive demonstrations around the country.
The CAA aims to offer Indian citizenship to persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, including as Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians.
