Citizenship Act CAA Unconstitutional? 237 Petitions Before Top Court Today

Amid the row over the Centre's move to implement the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) weeks before Lok Sabha election, the Supreme Court will hear today a batch of 237 petitions challenging the law. A bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and comprising Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Misra will hear the matter.

Among the petitioners are Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a political party primarily based in Kerala, and Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI), Congress leader Jairam Ramesh, Trinamool leader Mahua Moitra and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.

The day after the Centre notified CAA rules, the two organisations approached the Supreme Court, seeking a pause on the implementation of the law. They termed CAA "discriminatory" against the Muslim community.

Back in 2019, when the Citizenship Amendment Bill cleared the Parliament, multiple petitions had been filed against it. But the court had not paused its implementation because the rules had not been notified. On Friday, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal told the court that there was no question of a pause back then since the rules were not notified. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta then said that the fact that the rules were notified before the elections was irrelevant.

Under this law, non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan fleeing religious persecution can seek Indian citizenship. Persons from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian communities from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014, are eligible to seek citizenship under CAA.

The Opposition has slammed the Narendra Modi government over the timing of the law's implementation - four years after it cleared the Parliament. The move is "evidently designed to polarise the elections, especially in West Bengal and Assam", party leader Jairam Ramesh has said.

Trinamool Congress chief and Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said she doubts the legality of CAA and alleged a conspiracy to "snatch citizenship rights". "BJP leaders say CAA gives you rights. But the moment you apply for citizenship, you become illegal migrants and you will lose your rights. You will lose rights and be taken to detention camps. Please think before you apply," she said.

The Centre has trashed the Opposition's allegations. Stressing that the CAA is not "unconstitutional", Home Minister Amit Shah has accused the Opposition of resorting to the "politics of lies". On the timing of the law's implementation, he said, "BJP made it clear in its 2019 manifesto that it will bring CAA and provide Indian citizenship to refugees (from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan). BJP has a clear agenda and under that promise, the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in both houses of Parliament in 2019. It got delayed due to Covid."

He has also said that minorities of the country "need not be afraid because CAA has no provision to take back the rights of any citizen".

BREAKING NEWS: BJP has done it! CAA rules have been notified! Four years after its passage in Parliament, the CAA Bill has finally taken effect. The government of India issued a notification of the CAA Bill just a few weeks ahead of the Lok Sabha election. Following the issuance of this notification, it signifies a pivotal moment for individuals belonging to the Non-Muslim communities from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, which are neighboring countries of India. These individuals, compelled by religious persecution, sought refuge in India prior to December 31, 2014. Through this notification, the Indian government has made a decisive move, extending the promise of citizenship to these migrants. This announcement represents a significant gesture of inclusivity and compassion, acknowledging the plight of those who have faced persecution based on their religious beliefs. It marks a step towards ensuring that those who have sought sanctuary in India find not just refuge but also a sense of belonging and security within the nation's borders.

The rules have been significantly relaxed such as lesser documentation, an online portal, and lower residency requirements! This Act would remove the legal barriers to citizenship while giving a dignified life to these refugees!! However, not everyone is happy. - Congress has slammed the government’s timing on the matter while calling it BJP’s attempt at ‘divisive politics’ and ‘designed to polarise the elections’. - West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has announced that the TMC will be opposing the Act since it ‘infringes upon people’s rights’! - AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi claimed that CAA was divisive, ‘based on Godse’s thought’, and ‘wanted to reduce Muslims to second-class citizens’!! - Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has announced that the Act would not be implemented in Kerala!! What do you think? Is CAA a helpful move or a divisive political agenda?? Follow Jobaaj Stories (the media arm of Jobaaj.com Group) for more.

A Battleground of Women's Votes: TMC and BJP's Intense Campaign in Bengal Amid Sandeshkhali Episode

The focus on women's votes intensifies in Bengal as the TMC and BJP ramp up their efforts, with the recent Sandeshkhali incident heightening political tensions. Women voters are pivotal for both parties, as the BJP eyes national support and the TMC seeks to secure its dominance in West Bengal, particularly after its success in the 2021 Assembly polls.

The Sandeshkhali controversy has become a strategic opportunity for the BJP to challenge the TMC's stronghold, targeting its female voter base. In the past, women, particularly Muslim and Mahila constituents, played a crucial role in securing Trinamool's victory against BJP's advances. However, the BJP aims to reverse this trend, aiming to prevent a repeat of the 2019 Lok Sabha performance where it secured 18 seats in Bengal.

During his recent visit to West Bengal, Prime Minister Narendra Modi capitalized on the Sandeshkhali issue, criticizing the TMC's handling of the situation and rallying support against its alleged misconduct. The TMC, on the other hand, faces challenges defending its reputation amid mounting criticism.

The BJP's announcement of Bhojpuri actor-singer Pawan Singh as its candidate for Asansol faced immediate backlash, highlighting tensions over cultural sensitivities. Meanwhile, TMC leaders point out discrepancies in BJP's candidate selection and question its commitment to women's empowerment.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee maintains an aggressive stance, planning a "padayatra" in Kolkata to bolster party morale and counter BJP's offensive.

As the Election Commission reviews poll preparations and central forces deploy, Bengal braces for a highly contested electoral battle. With women's votes at the forefront, both parties strategize to sway public opinion, making every move count in the run-up to the polls.

Bengal Muslims Bag 66% Quota | Is It A State Sponsored Social ‘Injustice’? - 12 Jun 2023

Despite islam claiming no caste lines, how are muslims asking for caste based reservation and quotas? How is gov giving 66% quotas to muslims based on caste!

In today's episode of India Upfront, host Rahul Shivshankr will be discussing quota injustice in West Bengal. The National Commission for Backward Classes levelled severe charges of appeasement against Mamata Banerjee's government in Bengal. The NCBC chief has pointed out certain discrepancies, especially when it comes to OBC status under the state list in Bengal, and said that of the 179 OBC groups in the state list, 118 belong to the Muslim community.

The NCBC chief has concluded that the entire exercise of granting OBC status was not done in a responsible manner. The national commission for backward classes team made an official visit to Bengal in February to conduct a probe into the matter. We are joined by a few panellists. "Muslims form 27% of West Bengal's population, but 66% of OBC groups in the state are Muslims. This is appeasement at its worst," said Anand Ranganathan.

Eyes on Bengal Polls Next Year, BJP's Fight for 'Throne' Gains Momentum With Revamped Minority Morcha

Eyes on Bengal Polls Next Year, BJP’s Fight for ‘Throne’ Gains Momentum With Revamped Minority Morcha

[ad_1]

BJP’s Minority Morcha president Ali Hossain said there is a strong BJP wave across the state and ‘Parivartan’ is inevitable in Bengal. (for representation)

Any significant division in the Muslim vote share, a deciding factor in nearly 90 assembly seats out of 294 in the state could jeopardise Mamata Banerjee’s plans for 2021 Assembly polls, a fact BJP knows all too well.

Quote

West Bengal and Assam provide an opportunity to study the contrast. If the BJP could retain power in Assam, it was largely because of the presence of a strong state leadership, especially of Himanta Biswa Sarma, whom the party indirectly projected as the chief ministerial face. The opposition Congress-led Mahajot lacked this advantage. Similarly, if the BJP failed in West Bengal, it was because it has no regional leader to stand up against Trinamool Congress’ chief ministerial face, Mamata Banerjee. The victory of the BJP in Assam should be analysed in proper perspective as the saffron brigade is here busy giving credit to its poll strategy and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah. By this logic one may ask as to why this policy of polarising the society on the communal line did not work in neighbouring West Bengal where too there is a huge Muslim population and the party bigwigs made an intensive campaign—perhaps many times more than Assam.
