1) The survey without asking papers which is being referred here is NPR & not NRC. The "buddhijivi" mixed up 2 different exercises here. The NPR exercise doesn't have to do anything with citizenship. It's meant to count RESIDENTS of India & NOT CITIZENS of India.

So, the question of marking somebody "doubtful" does not arise.
2) By saying that just because of a person's religion, a 'D' will be marked, this man is trying to create 'dar ka mahaul". I would love to know his argument supporting this ha-te ful thought.

#DataOnCAA

In #Parliament, Home Minister asserted that ‘lakhs and crores’ of people will benefit from #CAA2019

We did #FactCheck and dug out some data from Questions answered in #RajyaSabha

What we found is interesting and revealing

THREAD
#DataOnCAA

As recently as on 8th August 2018, Ministry of Home Affairs claimed in #RajyaSabha that data on people from minority communities coming to India on ground of religious persecution from different provinces of Pakistan is not centrally maintained
#DataOnCAA

Interestingly, MHA did say that issue of persecution was taken up with Govt of Pakistan and Bangladesh diplomatically.

What Pakistan and Bangladesh said can be seen in pictures below, which was reproduced in atleast 3 responses, all in 2014.

Putting a thread to tell facts of CAA and the NRC which ARE mutually exclusive. The protests/violence is inconsequential. I will detail why.

(1/n)
CAA is Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019. It applies only to those citizens of the PERSECUTED MINORITIES from the countries of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. It is NOT applicable to Indian Citizens.

(2/n)
This amendment is completely constitutional because both the houses of the Parliament of India have passed it and it has the assent of the President of India.

(1/n) Data about the potential beneficiaries of the #CAA2019 is confusing. There doesn't seem to be any conclusive data. Here is a detailed data piece

factly.in/caa-debate-wha…
(2/n) The Intelligence Bureau told the 'Joint Committee on the Citizen (Amendment) Bill -2016' that there are 31313 immediate beneficiaries of CAA
(3/n)A total of 2,738 Afghani & Pakistani nationals were provided citizenship during 2016-2019, the religion they belong to is not known since online capturing of data for 6 minority communities began i only 2018

A thread explaining the provisions pertaining to #Citizenship in India and some concerns regarding the #CAA2019:

#CitizenshipAmendmentAct

1/9
Citizenship of India can be acquired by Birth, descent, registration, naturalisation or incorporation of territory.

Any foreigner on becoming eligible can acquire citizenship by registration or by naturalisation irrespective of his country or community.

#CAA2019
#CAB2019

2/9
#CAA2019 enables foreigners of 6 minority communities from 3 countries to apply for citizenship on basis of religious persecution

It does NOT amend any existing legal provision which enables any foreigner to apply for Indian citizenship through registration/naturalisation.

Having interviewed many grassroots activists who have organised 100s of protests with even over 10,000 people, I've learnt that takes YEARS of mobilising, conversations, leadership, to keep rallies non-violent, especially when the causes are often life & death. + #CAA2019
Twitterati condemning and giving sage advise to students to keep calm, not slap a cop when he slaps a student, probably don't recognise how HARD it is to be non-violent in the face of asymmetric power of the state. + #CAA2019
We can't forget that a student's slap is not equal to trained cops in riot gear shooting bullets, tear gas & a history of quelling protests of all kinds with cases of "kidnapping govt officials", "blocking govt work", causing nuisance etc. #CAA2019

My own position on #CAA2019 has been - it is sound in principle (read @pratimbose article👇) and nothing wrong constitutionally (as explained by none other than Harish Salve). But, I anticipate serious issues in implementation. Therefore, other than the #NorthEast #CABProtests /2
#CABPolitics e.g. in #Assam where it is a live issue (but religion agnostic as they are against all immigrants changing the demographics of the region) for the rest of India it is largely an academic issue. Therefore, #CABProtests in the name of “secularism” ill-conceived 3/n
3/n Besides, #CAA2019 has been passed by an act of Parliament and not by any Presidential Diktat. If it has to be undone - it cannot be through violence and vandalism. Those upholding the Constitutional values - must also adopt democratic means and not promote mobocracy #CAB 4/n
