In a significant growth, Union House Minister Amit Shah on Saturday introduced that the Citizenship Modification Act (CAA) can be authorized and carried out earlier than the 2024 Lok Sabha election. The Parliament enacted the measure in December 2019. Talking on the ET Now-International Enterprise summit in Delhi, Amit Shah acknowledged: “CAA is an Act of the nation, it is going to be positively be notified…It is going to be notified earlier than the polls…There needs to be no confusion round it.”
“CAA was a promise of the Congress authorities. When the nation was divided and the minorities have been persecuted in these nations, Congress had assured the refugees that they have been welcome in India and they are going to be supplied with Indian citizenship. Now they’re backtracking,” Shah stated.
