Indian Social Forum (ISF) Kuwait has urged the Indian government to withdraw the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019.
The Bill seeks to amend the Citizenship Act 1955 to grant Indian nationality to non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
“This Bill is exclusively targeted towards Muslims. It will be harmful to the integrity of this nation and will create animosities, vengeance and racism. It’s a betrayal of the secular and democratic nature of our Constitution.
“If helping the persecuted refugees are the real issue the Indian government should have extended help to Rohingya and Sri Lankan persecuted minorities who face ethnic cleansing and genocidal attacks in their respective states,” said ISF in a press release.
The real objective of CAB is to institutionalise discrimination and creation of fear among Indian Muslims, the ISF Kuwait added.
