No

needs
to
fear
about
the
CAA
and
the
NPR
is
not
going
to
throw
anyone
out
of
the
country,
Maharashtra
Chief
Minister
Uddhav
Thackeray
said
here
on
Friday,
after
meeting
Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi.
This
was
Thackeray's
first
meeting
with
Modi
after
taking
over
as
the
chief
minister
of
Maharashtra.
Thackeray's Shiv Sena was earlier a part of the BJP-led NDA, but formed the "Maha Vikas Aghadi" government in Maharashtra with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) after parting ways with the saffron party.
"I had a good discussion with the prime minister over issues concerning Maharashtra. I also discussed the CAA, NPR and NRC with the prime minister. No one needs to fear about the CAA. The NPR is not going to throw anyone out of the country," Thackeray told reporters after the meeting with the prime minister.

He also denied that there was any friction among the constituents of the "Maha Aghadi", while asserting that the Maharashtra government will complete its five-year term.
The Congress and the NCP are reportedly miffed over the chief minister's stand on NPR and CAA. "There is no friction among the allies. We are going to run the government for five years," Thackeray said.
He also said the prime minister had assured him of extending all cooperation to the Maharashtra government.
