Implementing CAA before to the Lok Sabha elections: Amit Chauhan

NEW DELHI: The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will be announced and put into effect before to the next Lok Sabha elections, according to a statement made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday.

Speaking at a gathering in the nation’s capital, Shah stressed that the CAA is a national act and that notification would undoubtedly occur on schedule. Furthermore, he made it clear that the CAA seeks to provide citizenship rather than to revoke it.
“The CAA is a national act that will undoubtedly be informed. It will get noticed before the polls. There should be no misunderstanding on CAA since it would be put into effect by the polls, according to Amit Shah.
“CAA was a government guarantee made to Congress. Congress promised the refugees that they would be welcomed in India and would be granted Indian citizenship at the time when the country was split and minorities were being persecuted in foreign countries. They are now going back,” he said.
The Narendra Modi government’s CAA seeks to provide Indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants who were persecuted and came in India before December 31, 2014, from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
Minorities in our nation are being incited, particularly the Muslim minority. Since the Act makes no mention of citizenship, CAA cannot take away someone’s citizenship. “The CAA is an act that grants citizenship to refugees who were subjected to persecution in Pakistan and Bangladesh,” he said.
Significant demonstrations broke out around the nation when the CAA was approved by Parliament in December 2019 and was subsequently ratified by the president.
Shah emphasized that as the Act makes no mention of citizenship, it does not take anyone’s citizenship away. Turning his attention to the approaching Lok Sabha elections, Shah underlined that corruption and development are the main issues in this election. According to him, the conflict is not between the NDA and the INDIA bloc, but rather between crooked government and zero tolerance for corruption.
“This election is about those who want to secure national security vs. those who, in the name of foreign policy, endanger national security” stated the Union’s home minister.
