Citizenship Amendment Act

Across the nation, large-scale protests against the CAA were held after the bill was passed in Parliament on December 11, 2019.

The Citizenship law aims to grant citizenship to individuals belonging to Hindu, Jain, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, and Parsi communities who migrated to India on or before December 31, 2014, from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

The development comes after Union Home Minister Amit Shah informed that before the Lok Sabha elections, the law will be implemented.
