New Delhi, Feb 10: The Citizenship Amendment Act, which was approved by the Parliament in December 2019, would be announced and put into effect before to the next Lok Sabha elections, according to Union Home Minister Amit Shah‘s statement on Saturday. “CAA is a national act; it will undoubtedly be informed. It will receive notice before to the polls. Speaking at the ET Now-Global Business conference held in the nation’s capital, Shah stated that there should be no misunderstanding over the implementation of the CAA by the polls. “CAA was a government promise made to Congress.” Congress promised the refugees that they would be welcomed in India and would be granted Indian citizenship during the time when the country was divided and minorities were being persecuted in foreign countries. They are now going back,” Shah remarked. He declared unequivocally that the purpose of CAA was to grant citizenship, not to revoke anyone’s already obtained. 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 purpose of the CAA is to grant citizenship to refugees who were subjected to persecution in Pakistan and Bangladesh.The Narendra Modi government’s Citizenship Act (CAA) seeks to offer Indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants who have been persecuted and who came to India before December 31, 2014, including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians. Significant protests broke out around the nation when the CAA was approved by Parliament in December 2019 and was subsequently ratified by the president. The home minister stated that corruption is the main issue in this election, which is related to the impending Lok Sabha polls.“The issue in this election is not NDA versus. I.N.D.I.A. This concerns zero tolerance for corruption against corrupt governance. The Union Home Minister stated, “This election is about those who want to secure national security vs. those who, in the name of foreign policy, endanger national security.”
