CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT ACT(CAA):-
"INDIAN GOVERNMENT"
At the first hearing on petitions challenging the CAA, the Supreme Court declined to stay the contentious law but asked the Center to file its reply against the petitions that say it violates the Constitution.

New Delhi Protests have broken out across India, a few of them violent, against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019. In response, the government has, in some areas, turned off the internet and issued Section 144, that prohibits a gathering of four or more people in a place. The Act seeks to amend the definition of illegal immigrant for Hindu, Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian immigrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who have lived in India without documentation. They will be granted fast track Indian citizenship in six years. So far 12 years of residence has been the standard eligibility requirement for naturalisation.

AMIT SHAH:-Is the Citizenship Act linked to the National Register of Citizens? As protests have erupted across India against both of these measures over the last week, the government and its supporters have sought to insist that the two are completely separate.
“There is no question of joining CAA with NRC,” said Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad earlier this week. Supporters of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party are out in force online telling people that they should not link one to the other. Yet to those protesting, it seems clear as day that the two legislations are connected – and, indeed, that it is the combination of the two moves that poses a challenge to Indian values.
(THE HOME MINISTER OF INDIA IS DONE OF THIS ACT)
- RELIGION:- THIS ACT IS NOT FOR A SIMILAR RELIGION, THE ONE OF EACH CASTE IS IN WITH THE RULES,, THE EVERY PERSON MUST SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT,
- HUMANITY:- WHEN THE PEOPLE IS THINKING ABOUT HIS PERSONAL RELATION,THEN GOVERNMENT CAN WHAT TO DO,
- RULES:- EVERY SINGLE PERSON IS FOLLOWING THE RULES, IF ANY PERSON WILL TAKE ANY ACTION WITH THIS RULES ,HE IS THE TERROR OF THE NATIONS, IN THIS CONDITION THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE TAKE A LEGAL ACTION,
Who makes the cut?
The legislation applies to those who were “forced or compelled to seek shelter in India due to persecution on the ground of religion”. It aims to protect such people from proceedings of illegal migration. The cut-off date for citizenship is December 31, 2014 which means the applicant should have entered India on or before that date. Indian citizenship, under present law, is given either to those born in India or if they have resided in the country for a mi ..

Background
- The Citizenship Amendment Act, which was passed in Parliament last week, adds a religious criteria to India’s citizenship laws. It singles out non-Muslims from three countries – Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan – and says they can get on an expedited path to Indian citizenship even if they entered India illegally. Though the Act was described as a way to help persecuted minorities from neighbouring countries, it ignores entirely other communities such as Tamils in Sri Lanka and Rohingyas in Myanmar.
- The National Register of Citizens is a process that will involve listing out every single person residing in the country, with the aim of separating those whom the state considers citizens from those that Shah has described as “intruders”. A version of this bureaucratic, error-ridden process took place in Assam resulting in a list from earlier this year that left out 19 lakh people and was so flawed that even the BJP has disavowed it. Amit Shah has spent the last year promising to carry out an all-India NRC.
NCR:-The National Register of Citizens or NRC that we saw in Assam targeted illegal immigrants. A person had to prove that either they, or their ancestors were in Assam on or before March 24, 1971. NRC, which may be extended to the rest of the country, is not based on religion unlike CAB.
(THE NCR IS DIFFERENT BY CAA)
Opposition's argument?.......
The CAB ring fences Muslim identity by declaring India a welcome refuge to all other religious communities. It seeks to legally establish Muslims as second-class citizens of India by providing preferential treatment to other groups. This violates the Constitution’s Article 14, the fundamental right to equality to all persons. This basic structure of the Constitution cannot be reshaped by any Parliament. And yet, the government maintains that it does not discriminate or violate the right to equal ..
The tweet, and the video below, make it clear that – in addition to calling infiltrators “termites” – Shah explicitly linked the two moves at a speech in Bongaon, West Bengal on May 1. He even, usefully, includes the sequence: “First we will pass the Citizenship Amendment Bill... after that NRC will be made.”
Earlier, Amit Shah even exhorted the public to understand the chronology and, by extension, the link between the two. In this YouTube video uploaded on April 23 by the BJP’s official channel, Shah spells it out.
“First the CAB will come. All refugees will get citizenship. Then NRC will come. This is why refugees should not worry, but infilitrators should. Understand the chronology.”
just think our nations .......!
