CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday stated the National Population Register and NRC must be seen within the mild of the CAA and alleged these measures are being introduced with the only real motive to hassle minorities, Dalits, and tribals in their very own nation. He chaired a gathering of AIMIM leaders in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar metropolis in Maharashtra earlier than attending an Iftar celebration.
Notably, the principles for implementation of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) had been notified on March 11, paving the best way for granting of citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The CAA goals to grant Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan who got here to India until December 31, 2014. These embrace Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians.
Speaking to reporters, Owaisi stated, “The CAA has to be seen along with the National Register of Citizens and NPR. A minister of BJP has already said that NRC and NPR will be implemented in the country”. The Hyderabad MP claimed the NRC was carried out in Assam the place names of practically 19 lakh folks discovered no point out.
“The Assam chief minister says Hindus will be given citizenship through CAA. But 1.5 lakh people from minority communities will have to contest cases. Only 5 per cent of people in India are passport holders. This is being done to trouble minorities, SCs, and STs in their own country,” he stated. Owaisi clarified that he was not towards persecuted Hindus and Sikhs getting citizenship in India.
“But what about Sri Lankan Tamils and Tibetans?” he requested. Owaisi stated the federal government ought to make clear whether or not folks immigrating to India after the CAA deadline of 2014 will likely be prosecuted. “Will they be granted reservation?” The NRC was first ready in Assam to weed out unlawful migrants. The AIMIM has renominated Aurangabad (now Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) MP Imtiaz Jaleel for the Lok Sabha elections.
