The implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019, by incorporating religious criteria, is blatant injustice and unconstitutional.

While aiming to aid persecuted individuals, its filtration based on the faith of the victim is highly objectionable and threatens to perpetuate harassment and bigotry against excluded communities, particularly Muslims, burdening them with the onerous task of proving their citizenship.

We urge all those who believe in social justice to raise their voices against this discriminatory law.
