The move comes close to the heels of the Kerala Assembly which passed a resolution against the amended Citizenship Act.
The Kerala government has also moved the Supreme Court against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) which grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh and who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
