For the first time, 14 refugees got Indian citizenship through CAA, Home Ministry issued certificate..!
New Delhi. For the first time, 14 people have been given Indian citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The Home Ministry has shared this information today. The ministry said that CAA certificates have been issued to 14 people.
The Central Government had implemented CAA across the country on March 11, 2024, under which there is a provision to give citizenship to non-Muslim refugees who came from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014. It is noteworthy that the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAA) was passed by the Lok Sabha on 10 December 2019 and by the Rajya Sabha the next day. CAA became law after getting approval from President Ramnath Kovind on 12 December 2019. There are three important facts regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act, in which people of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities who came to India after being persecuted on religious grounds from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh before December 31, 2014, will be given citizenship. Only people from these three countries will be able to apply for citizenship. CAA has nothing to do with Indian citizens. Indians have the right to citizenship under the Constitution. CAA or any law cannot take it away. To get citizenship under CAA, one will have to apply online, the applicant will have to tell when they came to India. You will be able to apply even if you do not have a passport or other travel documents. Under this, the period of stay in India has been kept more than 5 years. For the rest of the foreigners and Muslims this period is more than 11 years.
