Owaisi identified that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has repeatedly, talked about that CAA might be adopted by the NRC and the National Population Register (NPR)
Lok Sabha MP and AIMIM chief, Asaduddin Owaisi, questioned the destiny of 1.5 lakh Muslims, who had been allegedly omitted of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) record in Assam after the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was applied within the state.Addressing a public assembly in Hyderabad on Friday, days after the BJP-led Centre revealed the foundations for implementing CAA throughout the nation, Owaisi mentioned, “Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said the 12 lakh Hindus not listed in the NRC that was conducted in the state will be given Indian citizenship under the CAA.
But what about the 1.5 lakh Muslims?”Owaisi mentioned the Muslims omitted of the NRC record might be requested to show their descent by tracing their ancestry from 1962 and even 1951 on the Foreigners’ Trinunal.”They will be asked if they came in 1962 or 1951. They will be asked to show documents and birth certificates of their grandfathers. Those 1.5 lakh Muslims will be asked to fight it out at the Foreigners’ Tribunal,” the AIMIM chief mentioned.Owaisi warned that although the BJP has sought to allay fears amongst resident Muslims that they won’t be impacted by the CAA, such ‘issues’ will occur sooner or later.”They (BJP) are saying nothing is going to happen immediately. I want to tell them, that it takes time for things to unfold,” he mentioned.
Owaisi identified that Union Home Minister Amit Shah has repeatedly, talked about that CAA might be adopted by the NRC and the National Population Register (NPR).”Home Minister Amit Shah said in Parliament that NPR and NRC will also be implemented. Did he not talk about NPR and NRC in TV interviews?” the Hyderabad MP mentioned.
Speaking in regards to the NRC train in Assam wherein a sizeable chunk of the inhabitants discovered their names lacking within the last record, the AIMIM chief mentioned, “The Supreme Court directed the government to conduct NRC in Assam. After spending Rs 1,600 crore, the NRC was conducted in Assam under the watch of the Supreme Court. 19 lakh individuals were not listed in it. Among them, 10-12 lakh were Hindus and 1.5 lakh Muslims.”Owaisi, nonetheless, mentioned he was open to the concept of granting citizenship to persecuted minorities from neighbouring international locations however the methodology adopted for that shouldn’t be primarily based on faith.
“The government must give citizenship to people who come from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, but on the basis of religion,” he mentioned.The Union Home Ministry notified the foundations for implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Monday, days forward of the announcement of the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections.The CAA guidelines, launched by the Centre and handed by the Parliament in 2019, purpose to confer Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants, together with Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians who migrated from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and arrived in India earlier than December 31, 2014.
