The overwrought rhetoric unleashed by the BJP, ever since the 1990 Somnath-to-Ayodhya rathyatra by party patriarch Lal Krishna Advani, championing the cause of the Ram temple at the site of the Babri Masjid, has left the country with no option but to believe that all the policies of any BJP government are geared to serve only the interests of the majority community. The government and the party, the BJP, find themselves cornered on a sensitive issue as far as the BJP is concerned. He made it clear that it was only meant for the minorities in these neighbouring countries, and that the Lok Sabha has passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill after all the parties had approved it at the joint select committee level.
Mr Shah too has indicated that the NRC exercise will China ejector sleeve factory be taken up in Assam along with the rest of the country. The implication of the BJP’s thinking on illegal immigrants leads to the idea that India is surrounded by “enemy” countries which happen to be Muslim.If these are the juridical and historical challenges of the Citizenship Amendment Bill, then the NRC poses other problems because its aims have not been set out clearly. Somewhere, despite weak denials by Mr Shah, the NRC exercise turns on the fear of Muslims, and the Citizenship Amendment Bill indirectly strengthens the sentiment.
He emphasised that the Citizenship Amendment Bill should not be confused with the NRC. The assurances that Mr Shah offered in Parliament do not carry much conviction because of the government’s and the party’s bid to mould the national ethos around Hinduness.It was but natural that people believe that the intent of the NRC across the country is the same as that of the NRC in Assam, to detect illegal Muslim migrants.The problem with the NRC in Assam was that it was meant to detect Muslims from Bangladesh who have illegally entered the state, and it was an intent that was at the heart of the BJP’s politics.
