ansible shell module passing backslashes with double quotes

Hi,

I am trying to execute the command
'aws --debug waf-regional associate-web-acl --web-acl-id {{ ACLid }} --resource-arn {{ LBARN }}'
via module shell or command but I am getting errors. aws command uses the boto and boto is getting requests with backslashes "WebACLId" instead of “WebACLId” and "ResourceArn" instead of “ResourceArn”

Why is ansible command/shell module adding a backslash followed by double quotes?
\"

How can I remove the backslash?

I am using ansible version 2.4.0 from devel with boto 2.46.1

Regards,

Abey
