The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has moved the Supreme Court against the Centre’s move to grant citizenship to minorities from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh currently residing in 13 districts in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Haryana and Punjab.
In an application filed in the top court, IUML accused the Centre of going back on the assurance given to the court which is seized of its petition challenging the validity of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019. The Centre had said staying the CAA wasn’t necessary as the rules had not been framed, it pointed out.
IUML urged the top court to stay any further proceedings pursuant to the May 28 MHA notification during the pendency of petitions against the CAA.
The Indian Union Muslim League moved the Supreme Court challenging the MHA's notification dated May 28 pertaining to citizenship for non-Muslim refugees.
