The Ministry of Home Affairs officially notified the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) after its passage in Parliament in 2019. Congress questioned the timing of the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act and asserted that it was timed ahead of the general polls to polarise the voters in Assam and West Bengal. “It took them 4 years and 3 months to bring this rule. The Bill was passed in December 2019. The law should have been formed within 3-6 months.Modi Government sought nine extensions from the Supreme Court and took 4 years and 3 months before notifying the rules last night,” Jairam Ramesh said.
