CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT ACT (CAA), 2019 – AN ANTITHESIS OF OPINION
Keywords:
CAA, Protest, Democracy, MinorityAbstract
The most debatable topic burning India at this moment is the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. Anti-Government propaganda is being spread all over the nation by a few political parties to achieve political gain. This creates a lot of confusion among the general public. Government properties as well as many private properties were being ransacked by raged mob. Taking this situation as an opportunity some separatist forces is trying to create communal riots and aggressive mass movement against the elected government of India. Indian Government is charging people with sedition charges whoever is raising voice against the Government policy. All such movements are just mere outcome of fear and confusion created by some irresponsible speech of educated persons in the country and opportunist politicians. The confusion is all about whether the amendment Act is constitutional or not, whether the nature of the amendment is discriminatory against a particular community, whether the objective of the Government is to deport persons belonging to a particular religion to the neighboring countries, what will be the policy of the Government to identify persons as citizens of this country. The objective of this article is to understand the nature of the amendment and what will be the impact of this amendment Act on common Indian citizens. In this article tests were being made regarding the provision of constitutionality with respect to the provisions made specifically for non-citizens. This article is an effort to find out the objectivity of Indian government behind the implementation of such policy.
