The procedure to identify illegal migrants in the Northeast was criticised &amp; for good reason. But the law that requires Muslim migrants from Pakistan &amp; Bangladesh to be deported is the law of 1946 &amp; 1955. \u00a0If the CAA goes away, Muslims from Bangladesh (and elsewhere) who are illegal migrants would be liable to be deported as would illegal migrants who are Sikh, Buddhist or Christian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0further explains that the citizenship laws in most countries are based on similar principles all over the world. One acquires citizenship by birth, descent, naturalisation, or by the acquisition of territories. Those who enter a country without permission are illegal immigrants.<\/p>\n<p>The Senior Lawyer\u00a0furthers that after the Bangladesh war, the Northeastern states faced demographic consequences &amp; eventually resulted in the Assam Accord. The Illegal Migrants (Determination by Tribunals) Act had made it practically impossible to identify illegal migrants &amp; was challenged in the Top Court. He then writes that the Supreme Court had slammed the Govt. for failing to deport illegal migrants &amp; it was then that the idea of detention centres was mooted.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Salve then adds that the Citizenship Amendment Bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2016 &amp; was then referred to a joint parliamentary committee. The committee had presented its report in Jan 2019, recommending the Bill.<\/p>\n<p>Harish Salve further adds that the rules formed in 2003 had provided for the creation for a National Register for Citizens, by conducting house-to-house enumeration, identifying cases that needed separate inquiry. The Senior Lawyer\u00a0adds that even after sixteen\u00a0years, the rules are yet to be operationalised.<\/p>\n<p>Countering the \u2018liberal\u2019 argument that the CAA is against equality, Salve writes, \u201cThe principle of equality does not mean that every law must have universal application. The principle of equality does not take away from the state the power of making classifications. If a law deals equally with members of a defined class, it is not open to the charge of denial of equal protection on the ground that it has no application to other persons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CAA\u2019s avowed objective is to enable conferment of Indian citizenship upon members of minority communities who hail from \u00a0Afghanistan, Bangladesh &amp; Pakistan. Do we really need proof that minorities are persecuted in these Islamic republics? How can Parliament be faulted for coming to a conclusion that such minorities in the three named neighbours need to be protected?<br \/>\nHe further added that classification on the basis of religion isn&#8217;t per se unconstitutional for our constitution itself confers special rights upon members of minority religious communities in India. \u201cIf the law was broader &amp; allowed members of all religious communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh &amp; Afghanistan to migrate into India, we could as well do away with our borders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slamming the \u2018loudest\u2019 allegation against the CAA, that it is designed to \u2018throw out all Muslims from India\u2019, The Senior Advocate writes that there is no law, rule or notification published, or even a draft circulated, that would suggest that the government has any such intent. He says that if there is any procedure for citizens to prove their citizenship, it would be equally applicable to all Indian citizens, irrespective of their religion &amp; any procedure otherwise will be unconstitutional.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing the polarisation in Indian society, Harish Salve says that the polarisation between castes &amp; religions is at least as old as the notion of modern India. He adds that there is also polarisation between those who have enjoyed the perquisites of power over decades &amp; between those who have replaced them.<\/p>\n<p>Hinting at the communist ideologies that are hailed by the so-called \u2018intellectuals\u2019 in India, Salve adds that certain ideologies which are but dust on the bookshelves of political history in the countries of their origin continue to be romanced by intellectuals, some of whom dominate civil society &amp; civil discourse. He adds that all this has proven to be the fertile ground for protests &amp; aggressive debates &amp; the people who \u2018romanticize\u2019 such movements have not bothered to let \u2018the truth\u2019 spoil their \u2018good stories\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senior Lawyer Harish Salve, one of India\u2019s biggest names in national &amp; international law, has written an\u00a0article\u00a0explaining the importance of the CAA &amp; how the arguments against the law are baseless.
