“This will be implemented before the elections…this is the law of the country, no one can stop it, this is set in stone, this is the reality,” he had stated during a speech.

Additionally, Amit Shah had declared that the CAA was a national initiative. He gave minorities the assurance that no one’s citizenship would be taken away by the legislation.

“The CAA is a national statute…It will receive notice before to the polls. There ought to be no room for doubt about that. Our nation’s minorities, particularly the Muslim minority, are being incited…There is nothing in the Act that allows the CAA to take away someone’s citizenship.
