We (some lawyers) bring to you some CAA-NRC Myths - BUSTED! Please hear us out and ask us questions about this divisive legislation.

Thread.

#CAAProtest

Myth 1: The CAA is a passed law and therefore constitutionally valid.

BUSTED.

Myth 2: The CAA does not affect Indian citizens. Muslims or otherwise.

Myth 3: Muslim students are unnecessarily protesting for secularism, while they reap the benefits of subsidised education in minority institutes.

Myth 4: We still have a safe passage for all Muslims who want to enter the country legally.

Myth 5: We’re helping all the people who are facing Religious Persecution in their home countries.

Myth 6: Illegal immigrants take our jobs and share our depleting resources.

Myth 7: Every country favors their racial or religious majority. And India is a Hindu nation.

Myth 8: Muslims, because of their violent history of Islamic invasion and terror, deserve stricter identification laws.

Myth 9: An increase in the Muslim population is a threat to the Indian way of life.

Myth 10: This is written by people who have no idea about the law.

BUSTED!
