Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP government would implement the CAA. Amit Sharma
Minorities are being incited in our nation, particularly the Muslim community. There is no clause in the Act that allows CAA to take away someone's citizenship. CAA is to grant citizenship to refugees who faced persecution in Bangladesh and Pakistan," stated Shah.
Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, announced on Saturday that the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), which was approved by Parliament in December 2019, will be announced and put into effect before to the next Lok Sabha elections.
The Congress was further charged by the Home Minister with violating its pledge to execute the CAA. "The Congress government made a promise with CAA. "Congress had assured the refugees that they were welcome in India and they will be provided with Indian citizenship when the country was divided and the minorities were persecuted in those countries," Shah stated at the ET NOW Global Summit 2024.
Shah emphasized that the CAA was established to grant citizenship, not to "take away anyone's citizenship." Minorities are being incited in our nation, particularly the Muslim community. There is no clause in the Act that allows CAA to take away someone's citizenship. Modi administration in 2019, the CAA seeks to offer Indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants who have been persecuted and who came to India before December 31, 2014, alongwith Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians.
Regarding the impending elections, Shah expressed his confidence that the Narendra Modi government will win back power, with the NDA securing over 400 seats and the BJP obtaining 370 seats.
There is no suspense about the Lok Sabha election results, according to Shah, and even the Congress and other opposition parties are aware that they would once more have to sit on the opposition benches.
Article 370 of the Constitution, which granted the former state of Jammu and Kashmir a special status, has been revoked. Therefore, we think that the nation's voters will grant the BJP 370 seats and the NDA around 400 seats," Shah stated at the ET NOW Global Business Summit in 2024.
