Tamil-Nadu CM K Palaniswami appealed to people not to believe in false "rumours" being spread about the CAA. In a statement, Palaniswami said no-one should spread rumours that would create panic among public and affect the tranquillity in the state known for 'heaven of peace'. "AIADMK-members raised this during the discussion on the Citizenship-Amendment-Bill in Parliament. We are firm on our stand," he said.
