Religious Persecution  

The Union Home Ministry issued an FAQ addressing concerns about the CAA, clarifying that it does not target Muslims or seek to repatriate illegal immigrants based on religion. 

The attack at Nankana Sahib was a brazen one. The criminal, who had converted a Sikh girl before abducting her, was out in the open shouting anti-Sikh slogans. The fact that he has not been acted upon by the Pakistan establishment for acts of religious persecution, increases the need for citizenship law.

The issue of religious persecution of Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria should be an eye opener for many protesters and even CMs who have vowed not to implement the CAA 

Pakistani Hindu refugees, who fled the country because of religious persecution and came to India, held a march in the national capital in support of the newly amended citizenship law

The Citizenship Amendment Act provides citizenship for religiously subjugated minorities like Hindus from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh and has nothing to do with the Indian citizens, especially, Indian Muslims. 

Even with violent protests against CAA going on across the country, over 1,000 academicians, intellectuals and research scholars have come out in support of CAA and issued a statement supporting the Citizenship Act.  The statement congratulated the Parliament for "standing up for forgotten minorities and upholding the civilization ethos of India" and "providing a refuge for those fleeing religious persecution".

Vandals, arsonists are having a field day in the garb of anti-CAA protests. But a Hindu coterie at Raj Ghat held a thanksgiving session to Union home minister Amit Shah for granting them citizenship 

Gangaram is a Pakistan minority Hindu who has fled the country to join his motherland India. He says the enactment of the CAA will give a chance to persecuted Hindus to escape from unbearable affronts  

Jogendra Nath Mandal was the first Hindu law and labour minister of Pakistan. But he resigned from his post after partition and returned to India, allegedly anti-Hindu bias in that country 

Union home minister Amit Shah, in his reply in the Rajya Sabha during the tabling of the CAB pointed out to the Congress that Indian Muslims had ascended to top positions in the country and there was no way they were being targeted with  the CAB 

A relook into the Shah Bano case in which the Rajiv Gandhi-led Congress government overturned a SC verdict in the 1980s emphatically proves that Congress is guilty of the very charge of appeasement and religious persecution it is making against the Narendra Modi-led government 

Shekhar Gupta, a prominent journalist has said that the BJP has not been voted to power to implement the CAB. On the flip side, even a cursory glance at the BJP’s manifesto 2019 would suggest that the BJP was contesting the elections on this issue as well. 

Once again, Pakistan has sought to interfere in India’s internal matter by criticising the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. However, it is the violation of the Nehru-Liaquat pact by Pakistan that has led to the need of the CAB

Indian citizenship will be provided to the members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities facing religious persecution, putting an end to them being treated as illegal immigrants in the country through this Bill
