persecuted minorities

The protests that were temporarily suspended based on assurances from the chief adviser and other officials resumed on Friday afternoon (September 13), with members of the Hindu community in Bangladesh returning to the streets to demand an end to the repression of minorities.

Jaising indicated that no citizenship should be granted under the law as that will affect the minority communities. On asking how would providing citizenship under the law affect minority communities in India, Jaising said, "Because they (Hindus arriving from nearby Islamic countries) will get voting rights..that is how it will affect them (Muslims)."

When the same country gave citizenship to so-called 'foreigners' in 1955, 1986, 1992, 2003 and 2005, it is inhuman and unconstitutional to oppose citizenship of six minority communities displaced due to extreme religious persecution for political reasons.
