Pondy Assembly reconvened on Feb 12 to adopt anti-CAA

The Puducherry Assembly has been reconvened to meet on Wednesday to move an anti-CAA resolution.

The House is likely to have its session for a day.

Official sources told PTI that the session has been reconvened by Speaker V P Sivakolundhu and the meeting would begin at 9.30 am.

The main agenda of the session is for the territorial government to bring in an anti-CAA resolution, they said.

The House has 30 elected legislators (including the Speaker) and three nominated members.

The nominated members belonging to the BJP had already submitted a petition to the Speaker in protest against the government's move to pass an anti CAA resolution.

They had also submitted a memorandum to Lt Governor Kiran Bedi seeking her intervention into the matter following which she shot off a letter to Chief Minister V Narayanasamy, saying the Act passed by Parliament was applicable to the union territory and "cannot be questioned or deliberated in any manner."
