Nagpur: Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray wants the people to not misunderstand the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and has appealed to those protesting against the law in the state to maintain peace.

There is an atmosphere of fear across the country, but the people of Maharashtra shouldn't worry about their safety and the status of their citizenship, Thackeray said in the Assembly on Friday evening after meeting a delegation of protesters in Nagpur earlier in the day.
