Govt ready with rules for CAA, sources in the government said

 

The 'Citizenship Amendment Act' or 'CAA' may be implemented across the country before the Lok Sabha elections. Such is the claim of a source of the Ministry of Home Affairs. News agency PTI said so. It is to be noted that even after the seal of the President on the CAA at the end of 2019, the rules have not been made. So the law has not yet been implemented. But this time the law will be made soon. And only after that it can be implemented. Such is the demand of central sources.


The Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA was enacted in 1955 to prevent illegal immigration. 64 years later the law was amended to change the definition of trespasser. Unlawful trespasser was defined in Section 2 of the 1955 Act. In the 2019 amendment, section 2 was amended to add 2(1)(b). In that section it is said that Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan shall not fall under the category of illegal immigrants. As soon as this amendment was introduced, the country was on fire. The claim that this law is 'unconstitutional' and 'contrary to the constitution' comes up again and again in the face of the agitators. In that context, the Supreme Court asked questions to the central government and the center said that this law is completely legal and constitutional.

But even today this section of the law could not be made. Home Ministry has repeatedly asked for additional time. There were also rumors that the Modi government was no longer interested in implementing this law. But recently Amit Shah said during his visit to Bengal, CAA is going to be implemented. And now came forward the demand of the official of the Ministry of Home Affairs. He said, the rule has been made. Online portal is also ready. This entire process is online, and applicants can apply from mobile phones. Along with that, he claimed that CAA can be launched before the announcement of Lok Sabha elections.
