Tho, how can anyone prove they belong to "so and so" religion?! ... I do agree with one point the newbie is making about "security lapse" since who knows who may be given the citizenship!
Not sure how BJP will tackle the above issue!
That is a valid concern. The act is going to do nothing by itself and seems like a totally pointless exercise BJP wants in conjunction with NRC. They don't seem to have the numbers or plan to even back the act and the NRC exercise. It could be a big failure, and BJP should be called out for wasting the nation's time and money. They thought they could subside Assam's xenophobic sentiment and give it a religious twist. It failed big time after failing in the Assam NRC.
But no side/party is innocent here or can claim any moral high ground here. It is a series of wrongs by parties like Congress who signed a flawed Assam Accord and not taking action on illegal immigrants in WB/ Assam for votebanks to now BJP who wants to solve/reverse it with a NRC that will probably not work at all. Lets see what NRC they actually come up with.
