Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), which was enacted in 2019, will be implemented before the Lok Sabha elections this year after issuing the rules in this regard.
“Our Muslim brothers are being misled and instigated (against the CAA). The CAA is only meant to give citizenship to those who came to India after facing persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. It is not for snatching anyone’s Indian citizenship,” he said at the ET NOW Global Business Summit 2024
