India Passes Citizenship Bill that Excludes Muslims 😮
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2019-12-17

Protesters in north-east India have set fire to tyres and cut down trees to block roads in a
shutdown across the region hours after lawmakers approved the government’s new citizenship bill. The legislation will fast-track citizenship claims from refugees from three neighbouring countries - but not if they are Muslim. Islamic groups, the opposition, rights groups and others have said this fits into the Hindu nationalist agenda of the prime minister, Narendra Modi. They say he wants to marginalise India’s 200 million Muslims, something he denies. People in north-east India object for different reasons, fearing that large numbers of Hindu migrants from Bangladesh, who they say are intruders, will be given citizenship. The law would make it much easier for Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsees and Christians fleeing Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to be given Indian citizenship. Modi’s government says Muslims are excluded because they do not face persecution in these three countries.
