They claimed the new act has been structured against Muslims as it will treat the community as second class citizen of the country. It will spread hatred and the future generation will suffer its consequences, they added. {"id":23814,"sizeSlug":"large"} However, implementing the law the Central government has clarified that citizenship of not a single Indian will be affected by the CAA. As per the amended law, Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, Sikh, Christian and Parsee refugees coming to India after being subjected to religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan will get the status of Indian citizen.
