Amidst anticipation, a senior government official declares that the rules for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act will be notified well before the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The CAA, aimed at granting Indian nationality to persecuted non-Muslim migrants, faced protests post its passage in 2019. Delayed for over four years, the rules are now ready, with an online portal in place. The process will be entirely online, and applicants will declare their entry year without submitting documents. The government aims to implement the law before the polls, reinforcing the BJP's commitment despite opposition from leaders like Mamata Banerjee.
