Amid the ongoing against the Citizenship Amendment Act in several parts of the country, Rajasathan Kalraj Mishra on Friday said the protest should remain peaceful and it cannot be allowed to be a pretext to damage public property.
The governor also said if the state government has any difficulty in implementing the law, it can hold a dialogue with the Centre.
Mishra made the remarks while addressing a press conference here on completion of 100-day of his tenure as the state governor.
Asked about the anti-CAA protests in many parts of the country, Mishra said, "Nobody wants ruckus. The protest should be peaceful. No one can be allowed to set (public property on) fire. No one can be allowed to damage public property."
Responding to a question, Governor Mishra said, "It is a matter between the state government and the Centre. I cannot comment on this. But, once the law has been enacted, it is the responsibility of the state (to implement it) and is also a constitutional process. The state government and Centre can hold a dialogue and find out a solution."
"If the state government has any problem about all the functions as directed by the Constitution, it can resolve it by talking to the central government."
