CHANGE OF STANCE BY GOVERNMENT

NRC AND CAA FEARS

• Some protesters are of the opinion that NRC  will carried out throughout India and people  will be asked for documents. If they cannot  show documents of their ancestors their  name will not feature in NRC and under CAA  they can lose their citizenship

GOVERNMENT’S CLARITY

IS  NRC A PART  OF THE CAA?

• No. CAA is a separate law and NRC is a separate  process.The CAA has come into force nationwide  after its passage from Parliament, while the NRC rules  and procedures for the country are yet to be decided.
• The NRC process that is going on in Assam has been  implemented by the Honourable Supreme Court  and mandated by the Assam Accord.

WILL PEOPLE BE EXCLUDED IN NRC ON  RELIGIOUS GROUNDS?

• Ans. No, NRC is not about any religion at all.  Whenever NRC will be implemented, it will  neither be applied on the basis of religion nor can  it be implemented on the basis of religion. No one  can be excluded just on the basis that he/she  follows a particular religion.

WILL I HAVE TO PROVIDE DETAILS OF THE BIRTH OF PARENTS ETC. TO  PROVE MY INDIAN CITIZENSHIP?

• It would be sufficient for you to provide the details of your birth such as  date of birth, month, year and place of birth. If you do not have the details  of your birth, then you will have to provide the same details about your  parents. But there is absolutely no compulsion to submit any document  by/of the parents. Citizenship can be proved by submitting any  documents related to date of birth and place of birth.
• However, a decision is yet to be taken on such acceptable documents.
• This is likely to include voter cards, passports, Aadhaar, licenses, insurance  papers, birth certificates, school leaving certificates, documents relating to  land or home or other similar documents issued by government officials.The list is likely to include more documents so that  no Indian citizen has to suffer unnecessarily.

DO I HAVE TO PROVE ANCESTRY DATING  BACK BEFORE 1971?

• No. for pre-1971 genealogy, you do not have to submit  any type of identity card or any documents like the  birth certificate of parents/ancestors. It was valid only  for the Assam NRC, based on the ‘Assam Accord’ and  the directive of the Honourable Supreme Court. For  the rest of the country, the NRC process is completely  different and under The Citizenship (Registration of  Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules,  2003.

DETENTION  CENTERS

• The concept of setting up Detention Camps was  first mooted in 1998, when Late Vajpayee ji was the  Prime Minister and the Union Home Ministry  issued a letter on July 2, 1998 to all states and  Union Territories, suggesting that such camps  should be set up to restrict the movement of  foreign nationals awaiting deportation.
