The CAA was passed in December 2019 but had not come into effect as rules were not notified till now.

CAA copies burnt, strike announced in Assam

The All Assam Students' Union and 30 indigenous organisations on March 11 burnt copies of the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act in different parts of the state. 

The CAA was passed in December 2019 but had not come into effect as rules were not notified till now.

The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) and 30 indigenous organisations on Monday burnt copies of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) in different parts of the state, including Guwahati, Barpeta, Lakhimpur, Nalbari, Dibrugarh and Tezpur.
The 16-party United Opposition Forum, Assam, (UOFA) announced a statewide hartal on Tuesday, besides taking up other agitational programmes in a phased manner.
"We will continue with our non-violent, peaceful, democratic movement against CAA. Alongside, we will also continue our legal fight", AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharjya told PTI.
Bhattacharjya asserted that the indigenous people of Assam and North East will never accept CAA.
"On Tuesday, copies of the CAA will be burnt by the North East Student Organisation (NESO) in all state capitals of the region. AASU and 30 organisations will also take out torchlight processions in Assam, and launch a satyagraha from the next day," he said.
In Dibrugarh, AASU members were engaged in a scuffle with police when the latter tried to stop them from taking out a procession from their office in the Chowkidingi area of the town.
The Nalbari district unit of AASU took out a protest rally and also burnt copies of the Act in front of the local municipal board office.
Pointing out that the Sixth Scheduled areas and states with provisions for Inner Line Permit (ILP) in the North East have been exempted from CAA, Bhattacharjya said, "Our question is, something which is bad for some parts of NE, how can it be good for the other parts. In Assam too, in eight districts it will not be enforced." He also claimed that the CAA goes against the Assam Accord, which sets March 25, 1971, as the deadline for identification of illegal migrants in this northeastern state.
The AASU had been at the forefront in protesting against the CAA since the bill proposing the legislation was brought by the central government, and has already filed a petition in the Supreme Court against the Act.
Meanwhile, students have started protesting against the CAA in different parts of the state, including in front of Cotton University in Guwahati.
The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), which was formed post the anti-CAA movement in the state in 2019-20, staged protests in different parts of the state.
Its members displayed black flags and raised slogans against the government as they took out protest marches in several parts, including Guwahati.
The UOFA has called for a statewide &lsquo;hartal&rsquo; on Tuesday, its general secretary and AJP president Lurinjyoti Gogoi told PTI.
"We are going forward with our programme of a hartal tomorrow. We will also take up other protests, including gherao of the state secretariat, as announced earlier", he said.
Opposition political parties, student bodies and other organisations had announced intensifying protests against the CAA when the rules were notified for its implementation.
Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had asked those opposed to the Act to fight it out at the Supreme Court, maintaining that protests on the streets will bear no fruit as it is already a legislation passed by Parliament.
He had also warned that if political parties call for bandhs, they could lose registration as the Gauhati High Court had passed an order earlier prohibiting bandhs.
With the CAA rules being issued, the Narendra Modi-led central government will start granting Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan who came to India till December 31, 2014. These include Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians.

The CAA was passed in December 2019 but had not come into effect as rules were not notified till now.

The law made no mention of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, Tamils from Sri Lanka and Tibetans from Nepal.

Decoding Citizenship Amendment Act that sparked nationwide protests

The law made no mention of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, Tamils from Sri Lanka and Tibetans from Nepal.

On 12th December 2019, the Indian government passed the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act or CAA that sparked nationwide protests.
The law provided for an accelerated path to citizenship for illegal migrants belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian communities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Muslims were excluded. This exclusion drew criticism from various corners as the law was perceived to be discriminatory on the basis of religion.
The BJP-led central government argued that the amendment to the Citizenship Act was designed this way to safeguard minorities facing persecution in the three Muslim-majority neighbouring countries.
However, the benefit was not extended to minorities facing persecution in other neighbouring countries. The law made no mention of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, Tamils from Sri Lanka and Tibetans from Nepal.
Moreover, what added to the concerns was the government&rsquo;s plan to roll out &nbsp;a National Register of Citizens that would record details of all Indian citizens. This sparked fears that those excluded from the NRC, the non-citizens or immigrants, could face deportation.
Combined with CAA, the NRC assumed special significance. It was perceived that those excluded from NRC would be protected by the CAA as it grants citizenship to migrants who entered India before 2014. But since the Act was meant only for non-Muslims, it was feared that the Muslim refugees would be at risk of deportation.

'No one can stop CAA': Amit Shah launches BJP's 2024 campaign for West Bengal

Amit Shah addressed a rally in Kolkata on November 29 with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in West Bengal.

Home Minister Amit Shah asserted on Wednesday that the Central government will implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and no one can stop it.
Addressing a big rally here to launch the BJP's Lok Sabha campaign, Shah launched a blistering attack on Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on the issues of appeasement, infiltration, corruption and political violence, alleging she has "destroyed" the state.
Banerjee has been opposing the CAA due to her support to infiltration, he asserted, adding that a state with so much infiltration cannot develop.
He urged people to throw out her government by electing the BJP in the next assembly polls in 2026 and asked them to lay its foundation by supporting the party in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
He said, "Give so many seats to the BJP in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls that Modi ji says I have become PM due to Bengal." The Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress won the last assembly polls by "rigging" but the BJP jumped to 77 seats from zero, he said, calling upon people to end the TMC's alleged misrule of corruption, infiltration, and political violence by electing a government conducive to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's agenda of development.
Lauding the turnout at the rally, he said this indicates the people's mood and claimed that the BJP will come to power with two-thirds majority in the state in 2026.
The BJP's performance in the state in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls will create the foundation of its win in the assembly polls, he said.
Turning to the contentious CAA issue, he said Banerjee has been opposing it but it is a law of the country and no one can stop its implementation, which has been in a limbo as the central government is yet to frame its rules amid the opposition's strong stand against the law.
Parliament had passed the law in 2019 They, Shah said in a reference to the intended beneficiaries of the law, have as much a right to citizenship as anyone else. Banerjee has once stalled Parliament over the issue of infiltration but she is now keeping mum, he said, claiming that no one can infiltrate into Assam after the BJP was voted to power in the state.
"Assam has done a commendable job in stopping infiltration. But in West Bengal, infiltration persists due to the TMC government's vote-bank politics. Mamata Banerjee is opposing CAA, but let me say it clearly that CAA will be implemented in the country. No one can stop the implementation of CAA," Shah declared.
Hitting out at Banerjee over the suspension of the Leader of Opposition in Bengal assembly Suvendu Adhikari, he said she may try to silence him but cannot silence people of the state.
Her time as the state's chief minister is over, he said, often referring to her as 'didi'.
Shah dared Banerjee to suspend from her party some of its leaders arrested in corruption cases and said she cannot do it as she apprehended that they may implicate her nephew, a reference to MP Abhishek Banerjee.
"The people of Bengal are fed up with the cut money and syndicates of TMC," he said.
The home minister said as many as 212 BJP workers have been killed in West Bengal in political violence and added that people will avenge these murders with their votes in the 2026 assembly polls.
Banerjee has destroyed West Bengal, Shah alleged, citing political violence, corruption, appeasement in state. The state's development is Modi's top priority but it can only happen when there is a government conducive to the prime minister's agenda, he said.
He urged people to ensure a big win for the BJP in the Lok Sabha polls.
"We must ensure that the BJP forms the next government in West Bengal. To achieve this, we must win the maximum number of Lok Sabha seats from the state in the next Parliamentary elections," Shah emphasised, echoing sentiments expressed during an April rally when he set a target of winning over 35 seats in the state.
The union minister was addressing the rally at the historic Esplanade, with an eye on setting the tone for the party's Lok Sabha campaign in the state. The party had won 18, its highest ever, of the state's 42 seats in 2019.
At the rally Shah was joined by the state party leadership and Union ministers from the state.&nbsp;

Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni said the final draft of the Citizenship Amendment Act is expected to be ready by March 30 next year.

CAA final draft to be ready by March 30 next year: MoS Home Ajay Mishra Teni

Union Minister Ajay Mishra Teni said the final draft of the Citizenship Amendment Act is expected to be ready by March 30 next year.

Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra said that the final draft of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA is expected to be ready by March 30 next year.
The BJP MP from Uttar Pradesh, while addressing a gathering of the Matua community at Thakurnagar in North 24 Parganas district on Sunday, asserted that nobody can snatch citizenship rights from Matuas, who had fled religious persecution in Bangladesh.
"The process to roll out CAA has gained momentum in the last couple of years... some issues are being sorted out. Nobody can snatch citizenship rights from the Matuas. By March next year, the final draft of the CAA is expected to be ready for coming into force," he said to a thundering applause. Local BJP MP and Union minister Santanu Thakur was by his side.
The CAA seeks to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan entering India before December 31, 2014.
Reacting to the claim, TMC Rajya Sabha MP Santanu Sen said, "The BJP remembers Matuas and the CAA only during elections. The saffron party will never be able to roll out CAA in West Bengal." "The BJP's false claims are becoming clear to the Matuas and others. The saffron party will be rejected by all in next year's elections," he said.

Mohan Bhagwat on CAA-NRC: opportunists unleashed violence Bhagwat: CAA does not oppose any particular religious community Opportunists misled our Muslim brothers via false notions: RSS chief Bhagwat warns China: don't mistake India's benevolence for weakness If push comes to shove, India won't fall short of firmness: RSS chief

RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said 'opportunists unleashed organised violence in the name of protests' against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Addressing the nation on Vijaya Dashmi, Bhagwat said, CAA does not oppose any particular religious community, but those who wanted to oppose this new law misled our Muslim brothers by propagating a false notion that it was aimed at restricting the Muslim population. He added, that using CAA, opportunists unleashed organised violence in the name of protests. Bhagwat also issued a warning to China, saying India's benevolence must not be mistaken for its weakness. He said, the message sent by our leaders with a sense of self-respect, and the indomitable ethical-patience of our citizens must compel China to reform its attitude, but if push comes to shove we will not fall short of alertness, firmness and readiness.
