Indian Govt introduces CAA: CAA: Citizenship, Visas, Refugees & Muslims, Modi Govt’s New Law of the Land Explained

[Spartan]

As Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party government announced the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Monday, the law is back in discussion. 

The Central government passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in Parliament in 2019. The purpose of this bill is to give Indian citizenship to refugees of six communities (Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists and Parsis), who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. It had led to protest over the exclusion of Muslims.

The CAA was an integral part of the BJP’s manifesto for the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had last month said that the CAA would be implemented before the Lok Sabha elections this year.

Here’s the government’s response to all questions that were raised when the CAA was introduced:

What is the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)?

The law does not deprive anyone of citizenship nor does it grant citizenship to anyone. It merely modifies the category of people who can apply (for citizenship). It does this by exempting the applicants from the definition of “illegal migrant" – any person who belongs to the Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian community and is from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan, who has entered India on or before the 31st day of December, 2014, and who has been exempted by the Central Government or the Foreigners Act, under clause (c) of sub-section (2) of section 3 of the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920, or the provisions of 1946 or under any rule.

The legal framework for this exemption is found in two notifications issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2015.

In effect, this notification exempts only those Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis or Christians, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan, who have come to India before December 31, 2014, due to fear of religious persecution.

more than deportation they would not get the citizenship of India... they will remain illegal immigrants.

But that is the vote bank of Mamata and she is giving them Voter IDs and Aadhar etc
