Union Home Minister Amit Shah in the present day made the Narendra Modi authorities’s intention clear that it is dedicated to implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) earlier than the Lok Sabha elections. “CAA is an Act of the country, it will definitely be notified. It will be notified before the polls. CAA will be implemented by the polls, and there should be no confusion around it,” Shah stated throughout a program in New Delhi.
The Delhi Police has already tightened vigilance in areas the place CAA protests befell. Speaking on the difficulty, Home Minister Shah stated that CAA was first promised by the Congress authorities. “When the country was divided and the minorities were persecuted in those countries, Congress had assured the refugees that they were welcome in India and they will be provided with Indian citizenship. Now they are backtracking,” Shah stated.
He stated that CAA was introduced in to offer citizenship and never to remove anybody’s citizenship. “Minorities in our country, and specially our Muslim community, are being provoked. CAA cannot snatch away anyone’s citizenship because there is no provision in the Act. CAA is an act to provide citizenship to refugees who were persecuted in Bangladesh and Pakistan,” stated Shah.
