The resolution was passed after three hours of discussion. While the ruling party in state Congress and its main opposition, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) voted for the resolution, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) voted against it.<\/p>\n<p>The CM has said that the Centre has to make necessary changes in the Act before implementing it in the state. He also clearly said that the Census in his state will be carried out based on the old parameters only and not include the new parametres recently added by the Centre in National Population Register (NPR).<\/p>\n<p>Punjab thus becomes the second state after Kerala to move the Supreme Court to challenge the CAA.<\/p>\n<p>On January 14, <a href=\"https:\/\/thebengalstory.com\/english\/kerala-govt-challenges-caa-in-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">Kerala moved court to challenge CAA<\/span><\/a>, the first state to do so in the country.
