Is CAA a separating tool on grounds of religion?

In recent times, many people have been protesting against the CAA 2019. The protests are such that they have now been used not only as a political weapon but also as a tool for creating divide among Hindu and Muslim citizens of the country.  I HEREBY WISH TO CONVEY that the act seeks to amend the definition of illegal immigrants for Hindu, Sikh, Parsi, Buddhist and Christian immigrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh, who have lived in India without documentation
They will be granted fast track Indian citizenship in six years. So far 12 years of residence has been the standard eligibility requirement for naturalization.

The legislation applies to those who were “forced or compelled to seek shelter in India due to persecution on the ground of religion”. It aims to protect such people from proceedings of illegal migration. The cut-off date for citizenship is December 31, 2014 which means the applicant should have entered India on or before that date. Indian citizenship, under present law, is given either to those born in India or if they have resided in the country for a minimum of 11 years. The Bill also proposes to incorporate a sub-section (d) to Section 7, providing for cancellation of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) registration where the OCI card-holder has violated any provision of the Citizenship Act or any other law in force.
Even the Prime Minister Narender Modi in his speech this Sunday said that the act is only for those who are currently outside India and want Indian citizenship and not for those who are currently residing in India. The act is mainly meant for providing citizenship and not for snatching it from anyone.
   Now let me come to the protest part. In my opinion, the people are protesting against the exclusion of Muslims, alleging it to be against the ethos of constitution also the protest is against the Act’s implementation in tier areas. Most of them fear that the Act will cause rush of immigrants that may alter their Demographic, linguistic and cultural uniqueness. Also most of them do not know what CAB is. Recently, I came across a tweet on twitter by a person protesting against CAB saying that we all should not book any cabs and have a ride in it (referring to Ola and Uber cab service applications) also when interviewed face to face most of the protesters do not have any knowledge about CAB and CAA  and are just protesting .
My request to all citizens is to first gain some knowledge about any issue or topic before protesting.  CAA is just an act meant to provide with the benefits of citizenship and is of no harm to any person living inside India.

  1. first of all the people are of very prestigious university are not fool who are protesting against it.

    my point is how it harm the people: you know amit shah has said many time he will implement nrc and you know already that india is the country where there are many poor people resides and they don't have the document so what it will do who don't make up the nrc at that time CAA will help them on the basis of the religion.
    remember we strong evidence to counter your every points on CAA.

  2. Watch this videos , if you are not andbhakt you will understand it , poor muslim without document will be called as ghuspethiya and poor hindu without document will be called as sharanarthi and will given citizenship according to CAA. and also our constitution doesnot differentiate anybody on the basis of the religion even if any body is not the citizens of the india.
