The Centre on Monday implemented the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) five years after it was passed in Parliament. West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose said that the law was passed by Parliament, and rules and regulations were made.
"Bengal deserves peace and harmony, which is the message given by the deployment of Central forces here. Rowdyism going on in certain pockets will not be allowed," said CV Ananda Bose.
