Weeks ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Centre on Monday implemented the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA-2019), which was cleared by Parliament nearly four years ago. The notification of the rules, known as the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024, will allow individuals eligible under CAA-2019 to apply for Indian citizenship.
The Citizenship Amendment Act, which received presidential assent on December 12, 2019, aims to provide a pathway to Indian citizenship for migrants from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, or Christian communities who arrived in India on or before December 31, 2014 from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. Notably, the CAA-2019 amends Section 2 of the Citizenship Act of 1955, introducing new provisions for “illegal migrants.” The CAA-2019 sparked widespread protests in February 2020, leading to a delay in the framing and notification of the accompanying rules. The law evoked wide criticism and was dubbed as ‘anti-Muslim’. It also came under scrutiny from various platforms, including the United Nations.
Union Home minister Amit Shah, meanwhile, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has delivered on another commitment and realised the promise of the makers of the Constitution.
