New DElhi, Dec 21: Sharad Pawar also said that it has been done to divert the attention of people from the economic issues which our country is facing.

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar Saturday asserted that Maharashtra will not implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the proposed nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC) saying they’ve been introduced with a strategy to destabilise the religious and social harmony in the country.

Pawar said it has been done to divert the attention of people from the slowdown in the Indian economy. "CAA and NRC have been brought in by BJP Govt with a calculated strategy to adversely affect the religious and social harmony in the country. They are using it to divert attention from economic issues," the NCP chief said.
