New Delhi: Citing grave reservations about the constitutional validity of CAA, over 100 retired bureaucrats on Thursday wrote an open letter to the people saying that both the NPR and the NRIC are “unnecessary and wasteful exercises”, which will cause hardship to the public at large.
The bureaucrats, including former lieutenant governor of Delhi Najeeb Jung, the then cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar and former chief information commissioner Wajahat Habibullah, urged fellow citizens to insist the central government to repeal relevant sections of the Citizenship Act, 1955, pertaining to the issue of national identity cards.
They also asked people to urge the government to withdraw the Foreigners (Tribunals) Amendment Order, 2019 and withdraw all instructions for construction of detention camps, besides repealing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019, according to the letter.
