India’s government plans to enforce a controversial citizenship law criticized for discriminating against Muslims.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) aims to grant citizenship to non-Muslim minorities from neighboring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
While officials argue it protects persecuted minorities, critics say it violates India’s secular principles and could lead to religious discrimination.
The announcement of the law’s implementation, just ahead of upcoming elections, has sparked controversy and accusations of political motives.
Opposition parties argue it’s a ploy to sway voters, raising concerns about potential persecution of Muslims and the law’s impact on India’s demographic landscape.
