Citizenship Amendment Act / Amit Shah's big announcement before elections - CAA will be implemented

Citizenship Amendment Act: The country's Home Minister Amit Shah has made a big announcement regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on Saturday. He has said that a notification to implement CAA will be issued before the Lok Sabha elections. He made this claim in a news channel program. Actually, it is not that Amit Shah has talked about implementing CAA for the first time. During his Bengal tour in December last year, he had claimed that no one can stop the implementation of CAA. Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had accused the Home Minister's statement that Amit Shah was misleading people regarding CAA.

Last month, Union Minister of State for Shipping Shantanu Thakur had made a big claim. He said that CAA will be implemented in the country in the next one week. However, a long time has passed since he gave his statement. While giving the guarantee, Shantun Thakur had said that I am guaranteeing that in the next seven days, CAA will be implemented not only in Bengal but in the entire country.

Muslim community has been raising demands for withdrawal of CAA

Earlier this month, the official had said that the CAA rules would be notified before the announcement of Lok Sabha elections. Through this, people from migrant minority communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be given citizenship. An online system is being prepared by the Home Ministry to provide citizenship under CAA.

The CAA was enacted in December 2019 and came into force on January 10, 2020. However, CAA rules have not been notified yet. This is the reason why the process of giving citizenship to the citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan has not started yet. Through this law, citizenship will be given only to those people of Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Christian, Buddhist and Parsi communities who had come to India before December 31, 2014. After the introduction of CAA, the Muslim community and opposition parties had protested extensively from Delhi to the entire country and called it discriminatory. At the same time, the demand for withdrawal of CAA was raised.

Most of the work will be done in the third term of Modi government- Shah

Here, in the program, Amit Shah said that the government is committed to making India a developed nation by 2047 and most of this work will be completed in the third term of the Modi government. At the same time, on the ongoing discussion regarding One Nation, One Election, he said that PM Narendra Modi has constituted the Ramnath Kovind Committee, which will submit its report on One Nation, One Election in March before the Lok Sabha elections 2024.
