No detention centres in Maharashtra: state CM

Amid protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said, there are no detention centres in the state and Muslim citizens need not worry under his rule. He gave the assurance to a delegation led by some MLAs from the Muslim community who called on him on Monday.

Talking to reporters in Mumbai on Tuesday, NCP MLA Nawab Malik, who was part of the delegation, said that the Chief Minister assured that Muslims will not face any



injustice in the state. He said that the Chief Minister assuaged concerns of the community, saying the detention centre at Kharghar in Navi Mumbai was meant for foreign nationals involved in drug peddling cases. 

The NCP MLA also informed that the CM said to the delegation that people should not have any misunderstanding about the CAA as his government will not allow rights of citizens from any religion or community to be hurt.
