Unconstitutional CAA

Parliament of India has passed the citizenship amendment bill, which talks about give citizenship to immigrants based on religion. Migrants who are following the religions Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Parsi, and Jain will become citizens of India without any application and document.

Billions of people are protesting in the streets in Indian cities and villages against this bill which now became an act after successfully passing the bill in both the houses of parliaments. This act is unconstitutional and against the constitution of India, and a direct violation of Articles 14 and 21 of the Indian constitution.
