How do CAA Rules impact dual citizenship in India
Discuss the implications of CAA Rules on dual citizenship and the requirement of renunciation of previous citizenship according to anti-CAA petitioners.
1. The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) does not address dual citizenship in India, as it pertains to granting citizenship to persecuted minorities from specific neighboring countries.
2. Anti-CAA petitioners argue that the CAA discriminates against Muslims and undermines India's secular principles.
3. There are concerns that the CAA may lead to a situation where individuals are forced to renounce their previous citizenship to declare allegiance to India, which could be seen as coercive and against the spirit of freedom of choice.
4. Implementing rules related to renunciation of previous citizenship could potentially create bureaucratic hurdles and legal complexities, further complicating the citizenship process.
