Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the 21st of December, reviewed the progress of all the union ministries after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power.
Mr. Modi conducted a review meeting with the heads of all the ministries and discussed the various decisions taken by every ministry in the past six months.
The ministers of all the departments gave a brief presentation with a focus on agriculture, rural development and the social sector.
After this meeting, the Union Cabinet ministers are expected to conduct the monthly Cabinet meeting on the 24th of December.
Though the meeting was conducted at a time when the Nation is protesting the Citizenship (Amendment) Act [CAA,] 2019, it is not known if the ministers discussed the matter.
Protests against the CAA intensified in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, West Bengal, Assam, Hyderabad and Madhya Pradesh. While many citizens were detained, many suffered injuries and many lost their lives. In Uttar Pradesh, the death toll rose to 9, whereas in Assam, the number of deaths stands at 5.
The police forces in the respective areas are trying to control the situation, but to no avail. People came out onto the roads to protest against the Act, which promises citizenship to refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who are Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains and Buddhists.
The BJP is expected to raise the issue of protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 during the next Cabinet meeting, scheduled on the 24th of December.
