The Central Government may grant a certificate of registration or certificate of naturalization to a person applied, which means person gets citizenship of India from the date of his entry into India.

i. Date & Place of Birth of Parent

Answers by Minister of Home Affairs in Loksabha to questions stating:

1. Logical conclusion of NPR is creating NRIC & issuing National Identity Cards to citizens after verifying citizenship.

2. Steps of NPR process -:

i) Collection of information on specific charactristics of residents by government servants. ii) Creation of digitised database of each resident. iii) Photograph, 10 fingerprints & IRIS of all usual residents of age 5 years & above with refernce to digitised database in presence of government servant. iv) This database sent to UIDAI for de-duplication & generationtion of Aadhaar numbers.(which ensures database doesn’t containe duplicates) v) Printing details in form of Local Register of Usual Residents(LRUR), displaying for scrutiny & claims. Claims would be heard by local officials. vi) Simultaneously placing LRUR before Gram Sabhas & Ward Committee for vetting. vii) Also scrutinization of lists by local police & revenue officials. viii) Formation of NPR by aggregated LRURs at national level.

3. NPR would serve as mother database for creating NRIC by verifying the citizenship status of each & every resident.

Problems about CAA, NRC, NPR:

1. India’s constitution & thus India is secular country. There was no discrimination of any human being on the basis of religion, cast, creed, colour, language, place etc.

Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is discriminates people on the basis of religion & place.

Enactment of this act means loss of secularism, equality of India.

2. This act grants citizenship based on religion & place. It is attack on soul of Constitution of India & India.

3. CAA gives citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian person excludes only Muslims.

4. CAA gives citizenship to person from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan only, no other countries.

5. Due to this discrimination this act violets Article 14 & Article 15 of Constitution of India.

6. Home Minister Amit Shah multiple times has mislead Members of Parliament(both Loksabha & Rajyasabha), people of India & world by falsely claiming that this act gives citizenship to those who suffered religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan, but the Citizenship Amendment Bill which now has become Citizenship Amendment Act doesn’t even have word persecution or any reference to persecution.

Whatever is ‘written’ in the act becomes law, nothing else. CAA gives citizenship to any person of any of above six religions even if they didn’t suffer religious persecution, any persecution.

7. There is no need of any new act about citizenship, as already there is procedure available through which citizenship can be given.

8. In National Register of Citizens (NRC) process to get name of a person included in NRC, the person needs to produce document issued before a specific date (it was 24/3/1997 in Assam) where the name of self or ancestor appears to prove residence in India.

If document with self-name is not available, both document of ancestor issued before a specific date & document of self to prove relationship of ancestor having List A document are compulsory.

If above document/documents are not produced name will not be included in NRC.

a) If CAA is enacted all people of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan who came into India & would apply for citizenship will get it, only Muslims will not.

b) After CAA if & when NRC will be implemented those who won’t be able to produce document will get excluded.

c) As a result those who could not produce documents will remain out of NRC & without citizenship granted under CAA.

10. CAA treats Muslims as infiltrators & people of other religion as refugees.

11. Union government has built detention center in Assam, has made ready many detention camps, processing to build more detention centers. (See below link)

https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/assam-detention-centre-inside-indias-1st-detention-centre-for-illegal-immigrants-after-nrc-school-ho-2099626?amp=1&akamai-rum=off&fbclid=IwAR3igiiERIKDvldClztdOZhJY34iKJ-G8DFd8kcU_W6T6Ub0BGfLbLj2pZE

12. NRC concept is anti-poor because many people especially poor don’t have documents to prove their residence in India.

13. On basis of CAA Government can frame & apply policies with religious discrimination in future.

14. Government has planned to keep all people who will not be recognized as citizens after implementation of CAA & NRC in detention centers.

Amit Shah said his plan is to detect, delete & deploy.

15. Prime Minister, Home Minister, other Ministers in Union Government, Many MPs of BJP, Many Ministers of BJP indifferent states, People from supporting organisations like RSS, ABVP are lying & spreading fake information about CAA, NRC & NPR every day, again & again through Social Media, WhatsApp & TV News Channels.

TV news channels are idiotically airing lies & fake claims by BJP in most of their time.

16. CAA excludes Muslims to give citizenship.

NRC excludes all those who don’t have documents to prove citizenship.

People of religions Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Christian, and Buddhist may get citizenship under CAA.

That’s why CAA is definitely anti-Muslims.

CAA+NRC together may exclude more Muslims & give citizenship to people of above mentioned six religions.

Some questions asked in Loksabha, Rajyasabha & also outside of parliament which are not answered by Union Government:

1. If procedure is available to give citizenship to people came from other countries what is need of this bill, now act (CAA)?

2. In spite of crisis in India at this time like structural faults in economy management, then why priority is being given to created religious issues by Prime Minister, Home Minister & Union Government?

3. Why only three countries Pakistan, Bangladesh & Afghanistan are included and no other countries even neighboring countries Shri Lanka, Bhutan, Myanmar are not included in CAA?

4. As Amit Shah falsely claims that act is for persecuted people, then why persecuted people from other countries & persecuted people like Ahmadi Muslims from Pakistan and persecuted people of other religions than mentioned six are not included in CAA?

5. 19 Lakh people got excluded in Assam when NRC process implemented there, then why Government has planned to implement it nationwide?

6. 1220 Crore Rupees got wasted in NRC implementation in Assam, estimated cost to implement NRC nationwide based on implementation in Assam is 54,663 Crore Rupees, why Government is has planned to implement it while country is facing severe economic crisis?

7. If no country will be ready to take people who would be kept in detention centers, what will Government will do with them?
