New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) (MHA) (MHA) has been given an extension for the sixth time from the Parliamentary Committee for subordinate laws in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha to frame the rules for the controversial Citizenship (Amandment) Act (CAA), 2019, said Source .
Parliament committees gave them nodded another time to expand the rules for the CAA who mastered the requests made by MHA earlier this month.
A senior government official told Ani that “confirmed that the expansion of the CAA regulation was given by the parliamentary committee”.
Asked whether the extension has been given for three months or six months, the official said “The copy of the written order is that STLL is awaited, but is communicated that the extension is permitted by the Parliament Committee”.
Rules are very important for CAA implementation.
Chairman of the Committee at Lok Sabha, YSR Party Congress Balasashowry Vallabbhaneni, told Ani that “when the due date ended, MHA generally sent a request for further extension of further time to frame CAA rules”.
“When I was in Hyderabad, I didn’t know what really happened …
In general, MHA was given an extension in time when he was looking for a request in this matter.
This is not a problem.
But I don’t know.” The head of the lower legislation committee at Rajya Sabha Partap Singh Bajwa, who was also outside Delhi, was contacted to confirm but he could not be contacted.
The citizenship amendment law was approved by the parliament on December 11, 2019, and the president’s approval occurred the following day.
In January 2020, the ministry told me that the action would take effect since January 10, 2020 but was then requested from the Parliamentary Committee in Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha to give it more time to implement the rules when the country went through the worst health crisis due to Pandemic Covid-19 .
Previously, MHA was looking for time from the Parliamentary Committee for a similar extension five times.
The extension of the latest six months sought by MHA ends on Sunday.
MHA has been looking for before until July 9, 2021 to frame CAA rules.
Before that, there was a given extension until 9 April 2021.
The first extension was given in June 2020 to notify the CAA rules, which will be published in Indian news.
On February 2 last year, the Ministry of Home Affairs had told Lok Sabha that regulations for controversial law were still framed even because they had an extension of the committee of the subordinate law in both houses.
Legislation, which gives citizenship to illegal immigrants belonging to Hindu, Jain, Sikh, Parsi, Christianity and Buddhism from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, are passed by parliament amid hard criticism of the opposition that shows the communal agenda behind the law to the laws of Muslims.
Legislation has been interpreted along with repeated statements by Interior Minister Amit Shah – before the action passed – that there would be national training to prepare a national list of Indian citizens (NRC) to identify illegal immigrants.
This is interpreted as a project for Haknefranchise Muslims.
While national protests were seen following legal engagement, and several countries have announced they will not apply the law.
However, the law has not been implemented as a rule under CAA has not been framed.
According to the manual about parliamentary work, if there is a ministry / department cannot frame the rules in the six-month period specified, “they must look for extra time from the Committee on the subordinated law stating the reason for the extension” which cannot be more than three months at once .
However, the last time the expansion was given for six months.
When MHA cannot frame the rules within six months after the CAA enactment, he looked for the time from the committee at Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
The central government has explained that Indian citizenship to beneficiaries who qualify from CAA will only be given after the rules under the law are notified.
The aim of the CAA is to provide Indian citizenship for minorities that are persecuted such as Hinduism, Sikh, Jain, Buddhism, Parsis and Christians from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who have come to India until December 31, 2014.
They will not be treated as illegal immigrants and are given Indian citizenship .
