Excellent story on how the govt has been steadily placing hurdles for Muslims seeking Indian citizenship. To those pro #CAA saying "Muslims can apply for citizenship in the normal route," here's why they can't: not eligible for Long Term Visa, the first step to get citizenship
Muslims from Bangaldesh, Pak, Afghanistan have to pay 213 times the overstay penalty Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Jain's from there pay.
RBI changed rules in March 2018, so that Muslims from Pak, Afghanistan & Bangladesh cannot get Long Term Visas and cannot buy land or open bank accounts. Hindus, Sikhs, Jain's, Buddhists, Christians from these countries can. All this before #CAA.

Story from 2017, where Rohingyas say they got Long Term Visas from 2012-13 as they escaped routine persecution in Myanmar. But govt stopped issuing it after 2016, @datelinedelhi reports.
One refugee calls it "hostile times"

The RBI curbs on Muslims from Pak, Bangladesh, Afghanistan buying property in India was first reported by @the_hindu on 17 Dec 2019. (On DM from @SuryaAhmadVS). Link : thehindu.com/business/Indus…
Actually just realised. The hurdles apply to ALL Muslim immigrants from ANY country, while the relaxation applies to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist & Christian immigrants from Pak, Bangladesh & Aghanistan.
Applies to all the above.
Excuse me while I cry for my country. #CAA
