My opinion on CAA ( citizen Amendment act )
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:According to me CAA or the Citizen Amendment Act is very good. It is beneficial for hindus. I believe that BJP being the only party supporting hindus and carrying forward the idea of hindutva the step is right. People might say that this step is against muslims but for their information how can a muslim not be happy in a country where the national religion is Islam. We are all aware of the torture on hindus in Pakistan but have we heard anything like this for muslims? I believe it is a big 'NO'.And if anyone is concerned about India's population then nearly 80,000 illegal muslim migrants have been living in India for past so many years. So let's stop protesting and understand the greater depth of this issue and the main idea behind it!
Answer:
The Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 seeks to provide Indian citizenship to illegal refugees from 6 communities coming from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. These 6 communities include; Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Christian, Jain, and Parsi.
Worth to mention that Illegal migrants can be imprisoned or deported under the Foreigners Act, 1946 and the Passport (Entry into India) Act, 1920. These two Acts empower the central government to check the entry, exit and residence of foreigners within India.
The cut-off date for citizenship is December 31, 2014, which means the applicant should have intruded into India on or before this date.
The intruders or illegal immigrants are those who were “forced or compelled to take shelter in India due to persecution on the ground of their religion” in their native country. Hence the bill seek to remove the words "illegal immigrants".
The Citizenship Amendment Bill, 1955 describes 5 conditions for obtaining citizenship of India, such as
1. Citizenship by Birth
2. Citizenship by Descent
3. Citizenship by Registration
4. Citizenship by Naturalization
5. Citizenship by incorporation of territory
The Citizenship Amendment Bill, 1955 made it mandatory for a person to stay in India for at least 11 years to acquire citizenship naturally, which was later reduced to 6 years, but in the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, this period reduced to 5 years.
Therefore the CAB will make all illegal immigrants easier to become citizens of India which will be detrimental to the genuine citizens. The Act will enable illegal immigrants to occupy land, take over commercial businesses, and cause more unemployment to the original citizens and indigenous people of the country. The Act will cause serious problems in border states like the North Eastern states where there is a large number of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. This Act shows the weakness of the government to control illegal immigrants which is a major problem of many states of the country. The central government has not come up with a solution but adding more to the critical problem.
