CAA doesn't affect existing rights of citizens, CAA benign legislation: Centre in its affidavit told SC

New Delhi, Oct 30 (UNI) Ahead of tomorrow's crucial hearing in the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) case in the Supreme Court, the Central government, in its fresh affidavit on Sunday told the Supreme Court that the CAA introduced in 2019 does not affect the legal, democratic or secular rights of any of the Indian citizens and it is a benign legislation.
"The existing regime for obtaining citizenship of India by foreigners of any country continues to be untouched by the CAA and remains the same. The legal migration on the basis of valid documents and visa, continues to be permissible from all countries of the world including from the three countries specified in the CAA," the government said, in its latest 150-page affidavit, filed before the Supreme Court.
The matter would be heard tomorrow by a bench of the Supreme Court, headed by the Chief Justice of India (CJI) Uday Umesh Lalit.
