NO. They are not protesting on CAA excluding illegal Muslims. They were protesting against granting amnesty to any illegals. Period.
Since CAA is now a law, their demand is to ensure that none of these people can settle in Assam.
Do you know that I as a south Indian is not allowed to settle in...
What do you mean by my justification.
I am just stating the fact why Assamese are protesting in the posted video.
Assamese are not protesting to provide amnesty & fast track citizenship to illegal Muslims left out by CAA.
They were protesting to not give any amnesty to any illegals. Period...
Correct.
Here you need to understand that there is a difference between illegals in Assam vs Illegals in other states of India.
In Assam there was already an NRC exercise conducted (monitored and driven by the Supreme Court of India) and people who could not prove their citizenship will be...
Believe me no proof would be required. Many of them do not have any documentation.
You may be confusing CAA with the proposed nation wide NRC.
Nation wide NRC will never take off.
Of course I agree and I myself have stated that one time amnesty/citizenship should have been given to all illegals who are already living in India as part of CAA.
Even so when the illegal Muslims only constitute 1% of all illegals immigrants in India.
It does not make any sense to exclude...
I did not change anything.
The current process is same for all illegal immigrants irrespective of their religion or country of origin.
CAA is applicable only for illegal non-Muslims belonging to three Muslim neighboring countries of India.
The current process is still applicable and...
You got it the other way around.
Assam and North east people are very sensitive about their ethnicity and culture.
They have been opposing all amnesty including for non-Muslims.
They have already constructed the detention centers.
Central government has passed CAA in hurry to prevent these...
The beauty of CAA is it does not ask for any documentation to prove anything.
In the current process, the illegals (belonging to all religions) need to prove with documentation that they were persecuted in their country of origin to obtain refugee status first before applying for citizenship...
I was talking about making CAA NOT available for new illegals. India certainly does not have resources to take in more people irrespective of their religion or country of origin.
CAA is one time amnesty/citizenship for illegals who are already in India for decades now. Whether India recognizes...
Where did I claim India as the most prosperous country or land of opportunities? Everything is relative. The fact that there are illegals immigrating to India proves that India is giving them better opportunities than they had in their country of origin. Else they would have left back long ago...
Does India have space and resources for so many people? certainly not.
Note that fast track Citizenship through CAA is not available for new illegal people from all religions. Not just Muslims.
As such India is already crowded and government already spends a big chunk of budget to support the...
You should understand that CAA grants citizenship only to illegals who are already in India living for many decades now. It will not help any new illegal immigrants irrespective of the religion.
Of course I would have preferred that this one time amnesty/citizenship be granted to all illegal...
