Citizenship Amendment Act and NRC are proving challenge for Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
In the context of the CAA, which has excluded Muslims, the NRC has raised concern that it may be used to target Muslims who fear that the new Citizenship Act will be applied alongside NRC to drive them out of India.
Anyone born in India before 1987 or whose parents were born before 1987 are bona fide Indian citizens according to law and need not worry about their status, either under the Citizenship Amendment Act or NRC, a top government official said on Friday.
