Because pakistan was split into pakistan and Bangladesh in 1971 war.
Current pakistan’s hindu population has always remained at 1.6%. 15% was when both pakistan and Bangladesh combined.
Why is this lie repeated multiple times here?
Also, the citizenship ammendment act is for ILLEGAL immigrants who came before 2014. Not legal immigrants.
The law was that if you entered India illegally, then no matter how many years you lived here, you wouldn’t get citizenship. For legal immigrants from pakistan and Bangladesh, they could still apply for citizenship after 12 years. Also the cut off for the act is 2014.
And how does the act aim to identify “illegal” immigrants who are already here living in India comfortably with all rights? By asking the whole country to prove citizenship by showing documents that they were born in India before 1987 or their parents were born through NRC. And ofcourse, everyone left out of that excersise would be classified as a illegal immigrant. And then every religion given citizenship except muslims who can’t produce documentation.
So it’s a way to strip indian muslims who can’t produce documentation from 50 years ago of their citizenship.
CAA makes zero sense without because you first have to identify illegal immigrants through NRC which asks every Indians to prove citizenship by showing documents from 50 years ago with the results that everyone left out will get citizenship except muslims.
Basically they passed a law which first strips people of citizenship through NRC and then grants everyone except muslims of citizenship.
Why do bhakts even defend it? Hey we will first hunt down and strip hindus who came from pakistan and Bangladesh ILLEGALLY (Means they are not tracked) who by the way already are living in India with citizenship rights and then give them citizenship again through this act. Also, Hindus can legally come to India and be granted citizenship in 12 years. In this process we will also ask every Indian muslim to prove citizenship and if not strip citizenship,seize properties etc.
Don’t support Nazi level laws made by a genocidal party here.
This is equivalent to Nuremberg laws

Or how Rohingyas were stripped of citizenship.

Also the terrorist BJP party denies Rohingyas who are subjected to genocide even refugee rights let alone citizenship rights and incites violence against them. They deported them to a country where there is a genocide happening.

Also don’t do mental gymnastics over Rohingyas not included. Afghanistan was also not a part of undivided India and its included. We also share a border with Myanmar.
Also, the Home minister of India used genocidal language against Muslims and called them termites.
