Maharashtra cabinet minister and senior Congress leader Ashok Chavan said that there is no need to discuss the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Population Register (NPR) in the state Assembly.

"I personally feel CAA, NPR is the law of central government. So, no need to discuss this in Maharashtra Assembly... The Chief Minister will look into it and take a decision, whatever is best," Chavan said. Chavan added that there is no rift within Maha Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress.
