USCIRF Raises Serious Concerns and Eyes Sanctions Recommendations for
Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in India, Which Passed Lower House Today
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) is
deeply troubled by the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), originally
introduced by Home Minister Amit Shah, in the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the Indian
Parliament) given the religion criterion in the bill. The CAB will now move to the Rajya Sabha
(Indian Parliament’s Upper House). If the CAB passes in both houses of parliament, the United
States government should consider sanctions against the Home Minister and other principal
leadership.
2. R.A.W.
(Research and Analysis Wing)
In January 2019, Research and Analysis Wing had said to a Joint Committee of Parliament on a
earlier version of the CAB that the "CAB could be misused by foreign agents to infiltrate India"
(from agencies like Pakistan's ISI) and that it "could become 'legal framework' which they
could use to infiltrate India.
3. According to Al Jazeera, the Bill is violative of the secular Constitution of India.
4. Immediate beneficiaries of the Bill, according to Intelligence Bureau records, will be just
over 30,000 people.

VIEW POINTS OF TODAY'S THOUGHTS Team
SUPPORT:-
1. Amit Shah agrued that the "20% decline" in the religious minority population of both
Pakistan and Bangladesh necessitated such a Bill, adding that the Indian muslim community will
not be affected by the bill.
2. Prime Minister Modi said he was "delighted that the Lok Sabha has passed the Citizenship
(Amendment) Bill, 2019 after a rich and extensive debate" and that the "Bill is in line with
India’s centuries old ethos of assimilation and humanitarian values." The majority of the
Northeastern states members in the Lok Sabha supported the bill as their concerns were taken
care by the bill.
3. Author and activist Tasleema Nasreen, who supports the bill, said-
"So many liberal, secular and reformers have been persecuted by Muslim fundamentalists in
Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Muslim countries are not safe for them. They don't get
visa for Europe or America. What will happen to them? They have to shut their mouth or get
killed."
SUMMARY:-
This bill for providing for citizenship to all illegal emigrants from outside India and reside in
India for a period not less than 6 years excpt the muslims. the central government is all set to
