Big Announcement On CAA At 8 pm – Sources

Union Home Ministry set to announce CAA rules. Act fast-tracks citizenship for non-Muslim migrants from neighboring countries, but implementation delayed due to rule finalization.

The Union Home Ministry will announce the rules for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) today at 8 pm, just days before the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections schedule. The legislation, was passed in December 2019 and sparked widespread protests due to its content. It aims to expedite Indian citizenship for migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who are Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, or Christians, omitting Muslims facing religious persecution.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 to introduce a streamlined process for acquiring Indian citizenship for migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. This provision applies specifically to individuals belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian communities, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, due to experiencing religious persecution in their countries of origin.

Sit-ins at Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh and protest gatherings in Guwahati, Assam, marked the fervent opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). However, these demonstrations gradually waned as Covid-induced restrictions and lockdowns came into effect, limiting public gatherings and activities.

Despite the passage of four years since its approval in Parliament, the implementation of the CAA had not materialized due to the ongoing finalization process of the rules and procedures associated with it.
