Goa Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao urged the central government to revoke the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), calling the law “divisive” and “discriminatory,” state BJP general secretary Narendra Sawaikar on Feb. 10 urged him to stop claiming benefits under Article 30 of the Indian Constitution, which protects minority educational institutions from government discrimination.
“If CAA is discriminatory than Article 30 of Constitution of India is more discriminatory. Don”t claim benefits at taxpayers money by claiming minority status! CAA, Archbishop,” Sawaikar, a former Lok Sabha MP tweeted. As per Article 30 (ii) of the Constitution of India “the state shall not, in granting aid to educational institutions, discriminate against any educational institution on the ground that it is under the management of a minority, whether based on religion or language.”
