PM Modi Finally Implements Controversial CAA Act After Four Years

Big news as PM Modi notifies rules for granting citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has finally been implemented, four years after the law was passed. Prime Minister Modi has notified the rules for the controversial act, granting citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries. The CAA aims to provide Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants including Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians. This move is set to pave the way for refugees from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan belonging to these religious communities.

Amidst speculation, the Home Ministry is expected to officially notify the CAA Rules, bringing clarity to the implementation process. The CAA, which sparked nationwide protests in December 2019, is a significant development in Indian immigration policy. It will impact the lives of many non-Muslim migrants seeking refuge in India.

Interesting Fact: The implementation of the CAA rules comes after years of debates and discussions, marking a crucial step in the enforcement of the law. Furthermore, the CAA's focus on providing citizenship to specific religious groups has raised debates on the inclusivity of India's citizenship laws, stirring up conversations across the nation.
