Budget Session for Telangana begins on March 6
hyderabad sources stated that the budget session of the telangana Legislative assembly would begin on march 6, during which the house is expected to pass a resolution against the citizenship amendment act (CAA). governor tamilisai soundararajan issued a notification on saturday summoning the Legislative assembly and Legislative Council to meet at 11 AM on march 6.
Furthermore besides the presentation of the Budget, the assembly is expected to pass a resolution against the citizenship law. Meanwhile the state cabinet, at a meeting on february 16, had urged the Centre to abrogate the CAA. Perhaps the state cabinet appealed to the Union government not to discriminate on the basis of religion for according indian citizenship. It requested the Centre to treat all religions equal before the law.
Moreover the meeting, chaired by chief minister kcr, felt that the caa would lead to discrimination on the basis of religion while granting citizenship, thus jeopardising secularism as envisaged in the Constitution. Perhaps the cabinet decided to pass a resolution to the effect in the state assembly, the way kerala, punjab, rajasthan and West bengal have done. Meanwhile, the opposition congress held a meeting of its leaders here and decided to raise farmers issues, among others, during the assembly session.
