“This is not a matter restricted to political parties. This is a matter for the whole nation. Do you want to make 17 crore Muslims stateless? This is against the fundamentals of the Constitution. this won’t pass even the reasonable test,”Owaisi said while addressing a press conference.
Recently, the Union Home Ministry notified rules for implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), days ahead of the announcement of the Lok Sabha elections schedule.

AIMIM Chief further said that people should not view CAA in isolation as it is just a prelude towards the BJP-led Centre carrying out the exercise of the National Population Register and National Register of Citizens across the nation.
“Don’t look at CAA in isolation. always look at it with NPR NRC. Once all these exercises are implemented then Muslims, Dalits, tribes and poor people will suffer. The people of Hyderabad will vote against CAA. I am not polarising the situation, it is them who have thought of bringing this right before elections, Owaisi said.

Asserting that with this act “Centre is trying to promote religious discrimination“, Owaisi cited the example NRC exercise which was carried out in Assam.
“In Assam, the Supreme Court monitored the NRC where 19 lakh people were declared doubters by the administration. Out of these 10 to 12 lakh are Hindus. Now with the implementation of CAA, they will be getting citizenship. What about 1 to 1.5 lakh Muslims who were declared doubters ? As per CAA, they won’t get citizenship. this is sheer injustice, he said. As per CAA, they won’t get citizenship, this is sheer injustice, he said.
