Kangana Ranaut's Instagram Story The Narendra Modi government on Monday issued notification for the CAA, 2019, for granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 2014.
With the CAA rules being issued, the Centre will now start granting Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants - Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis, and Christians.
