Presenting historic proof to spotlight the failings within the laws, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor argued that the CAA is each morally and constitutionally incorrect.
He identified that “The basis on which partition occurred, was one country saying that religion was the basis of their country, and they went on and created Pakistan and Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Maulana Azad, Dr Ambedkar, had said that religion won’t be the basis of our nationhood. Our struggle for freedom is for everyone, and the constitution and nation we create will be for everyone.”
“It is clearly timed, four years after the passage of the bill, for their benefit in these elections. I’m fully in support of the decision of the Indian Union Muslim League to go to the Supreme Court against this,” he stated. Tharoor declared that if the INDIA alliance and the Congress occasion assume energy, they may unequivocally revoke this provision of the regulation, and shall be part of their manifesto.
“And I must say, if the INDIA alliance and the Congress party come to power, we will withdraw this provision of the law beyond any shadow of a doubt. It’s going to be in our manifesto. We will not support introducing religion into our citizenship and into our nation’s life,” Tharoor stated.
However, Delhi Haj Committee Chairman Kausar Jahan welcomed the transfer and stated that the act is supposed to present citizenship and never take it away.
“I welcome this. This is an act to give citizenship and not take it away. The condition of Non-Muslims in our neighbouring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh is not good. If the govt wants to give them a respectful life, what is the problem with it? The Muslim community will not have any problem with this, there is no need to panic,” she stated.
Meanwhile, UDF Chairman and Opposition Leader VD Satheesan stated that widespread agitation packages towards the implementation of CAA shall be performed nationwide.
“The Congress and the UDF will resist the efforts of the Sangh Parivar forces to reap political gains by creating division and fear among the people. The law will not be allowed to be enforced under any circumstances”, he added.
Union Home Ministry introduced the notification of guidelines for implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Monday, days forward of the announcement of the Lok Sabha election schedule.
The CAA guidelines, launched by the Narendra Modi authorities and handed by Parliament in 2019, goal to confer Indian citizenship to persecuted non-Muslim migrants–including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians–who migrated from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan and arrived in India earlier than December 31, 2014.
