The government's issuance of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) notification, just before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, sparks controversy. While the BJP sees it as fulfilling a campaign promise, opposition leaders, including Mamata Banerjee and MK Stalin, vehemently oppose it, citing concerns about discrimination and communal discord. The CAA's implementation reignites debates on secularism and citizenship criteria based on religious identity.

I may not get there with you.".
