The Prime Minister Modi-led BJP government on Monday notified the Citizenship Amendment Act rules.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) will grant citizenship to undocumented Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Once the CAA rules are issued, the Modi government will start granting Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan – Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians – who had come to India till December 31, 2014.
The CAA was passed in December 2019 and subsequently got the president’s assent but there were protests in several parts of the country against it.
The law has been a subject of intense debate and had sparked widespread protests throughout the country when it was passed in the Parliament, with the Opposition terming it “discriminatory.”
