Minority Commission of India member Manjit Singh Rai on Friday said there is nothing to worry about the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and alleged that some people with vested interests were trying to create confusion on the issue to meet their political ends.

"There is nothing to worry from the CAA as there is nothing detrimental in it. Only certain vested interests are trying to create confusion on the issue to meet their political ends," he told reporters here.

About states, including Punjab, who are against the CAA implementation, Rai said, "Granting citizenship is entirely a central subject."
