Opinion | The disquiet over CAA, NRC will spill into the new year

Live Mint  

In all probability, 2020 will tax both sense and sensibility. The cabinet decision earlier this week to allocate ₹85 billion to carry out a census, the National Population Register, which a minister in the Bharatiya Janata Party -led National Democratic Alliance government in 2015 termed a necessary step to NRC, will add to that disquiet. Statements by government leadership this past week, in the wake of ongoing nationwide protests, that NRC is not related to CAA, or that the population register has nothing to do with NRC, won’t cut ice. Especially as another item in the same manifesto, for amending citizenship requirements for a select group of people from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh—“Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs escaping persecution from India’s neighbouring countries will be given citizenship in India”—found expression in triumphant follow through as CAA. In BJP-ruled Assam, where protests have been the strongest, NRC and CAA’s face, Himanta Biswa Sarma, announced the formation of new tribal autonomous councils and development funds for niche communities.
