The Bill, introduced in the Lok Sabha on July 15, 2016, seeks to amend the Citizenship Act, 1955 to provide citizenship to illegal migrants, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, who are of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian extraction.
However, the Act doesn’t have a provision for Muslim sects like Shias and Ahmediyas who also face persecution in Pakistan.
Entire Northeast is opposing the CAB.
The regional parties are against the bill.
INPT is also in the same row.
INPT general secretary Jagadish Debbarma told that the bill if passed in the Parliament will dangerous for the indigenous people of the region.
