Central government implements Ci zenship

Amendment Act (CAA)

The ministry of home affairs has notified the
Citizenship Amendment Act's (CAA) rules
today, paving the way for the law's
implementation across the country. The law
makes it easier for Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist,
Christian and Parsi refugees from Afghanistan,
Bangladesh and Pakistan, to get Indian
citizenship.
The ministry's spokesperson wrote on X that
applications for the citizenship will be submitted
in a completely online mode.
"Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will be notifying today, the Rules under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act,
2019 (CAA-2019). These rules, called the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 will enable the persons
eligible under CAA-2019 to apply for grant of Indian citizenship. The applications will be submitted in a
completely online mode for which a web portal has been provided," the official X handle said.
This comes weeks after union home minister Amit Shah declared that the law would be implemented before
the Lok Sabha elections.
The law aims to give citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from these countries, who came to India before
December 31, 2014.
After the law was enacted in 2019, protests had broken out in several parts of the country.
Last month, Amit Shah said that no one can stop the CAA law.
