New Delhi: SDPI wants the Citizenship Amendment Act to be withdrawn immediately. SDPI leader Muvattupuzha Ashraf Moulavi responded that the SDPI is campaigning in such a way that the law will have a negative impact on Muslims and will approach the Supreme Court against it.
As part of the strike night announced by the SDPI state committee demanding immediate withdrawal of CAA, the Kozhikode district committee took out a protest march to Koilandi and Vadakara railway stations and Kozhikode city.
The proposed law provides citizenship rights to Hindus, Sikhs, Parsis, Jains, Buddhists and Christians who came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014. Earlier, citizenship was given only to those who had settled in the country for at least 11 years. But under the current amendment, it will be reduced to six years.
