A report from the US Congressional Research Service suggests that certain aspects of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) could potentially violate India's Constitution. The report raises concerns that, combined with a proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), the CAA might threaten the rights of India's Muslim population. Critics fear the BJP government is pursuing an anti-Muslim agenda. The report also notes timing concerns, suggesting the CAA's implementation coincided with political motivations. The Biden administration previously expressed concerns about the CAA's notification, while India maintains it aims to grant citizenship without affecting existing citizens.
