In his statement, Ravi Shankar lashed out at opposition parties for supporting anti-CAA protesters. He also assured that the CAA would not take away the citizenship of any Indian. Ravi Shankar said, 'I support CAA. Some people are opposing the new law without understanding it. Congress is not ready to understand this, which is more surprising. The CPI (M), CPI and other Left parties deliberately do not want to understand this law. This will not apply to any citizen of the country. It neither gives citizenship to any Indian nor takes away their citizenship. He said that the proposal passed by the Kerala Assembly against the CAA is unconstitutional. The CAA has passed Parliament and all states are bound to implement it.
