The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, or CAA, which grants Indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, has been notified by the home ministry. The law, which was passed in 2019, triggered protests and riots across the country back then. Now, opposition parties have accused the government of using CAA to polarise voters ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. Muslim leaders have clarified that CAA is not discriminatory against Muslims. The timing of the notification, just before the elections, is seen as a tactic to divert attention from the electoral bonds issue.
