\"BJP<\/div>\n
Tripura<\/a> Chief Minister Manik Saha said that the BJP government<\/a> in Tripura is preparing to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).<\/p>\n

Political parties<\/a> in Tripura fear that this will trigger communal tensions<\/a> in the state.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the media on the sidelines of a blood donation camp at a mosque here, Saha said that after directions from the Centre, the state government is preparing to implement CAA<\/a> in Tripura.<\/p>\n

A six-member state-level empowered committee<\/a> with the Director of Census Operations as its chairman was formed in Tripura recently to grant citizenship under the CAA. A senior officer in Tripura said that district-level committees<\/a> headed by the District Magistrates of all the eight districts were also formed accordingly.<\/p>\n

District-level empowered committees would receive applications under the CAA and scrutinise them before forwarding the same to the empowered panel.<\/p>\n

The official said those who want Indian citizenship<\/a> under the CAA will have to apply to the district-level committee for consideration.<\/p>\n

People in the Tribal Autonomous Council, which was constituted under the Sixth schedule of the Constitution, are not eligible to apply for citizenship.<\/p>\n

On March 11, the Centre notified the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules 2024, thus paving the way for enforcing the Citizenship Amendment Act<\/a> (CAA), which seeks to grant Indian citizenship to persecuted Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians who came to India from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan before December 31, 2014.<\/p>\n

Along with the opposition CPI-M<\/a> and Congress<\/a>, the Tipra Motha Party (TMP), a new ally of the BJP<\/a> in the state, has also been opposing the CAA since the very beginning.<\/p>\n

TMP founder Pradyot Bikram Manikya Debbarma on Friday doubted the implementation of CAA in its present form, saying anyone who has illegally entered the state may claim citizenship with false documents, and verifying the authenticity of such documents is also very tough.<\/p>\n

Implementation of CAA in its present form is not acceptable, he told the media.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may be a partner of the BJP, but our party’s principles and policies are very clear. We do not want demographic changes in any of the northeastern states, because the number of indigenous people in the region is small and if we do not have a proper system, many people can come and claim that they have been here for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opposition leader and CPI-M state Secretary Jitendra Choudhury reiterated his party’s longstanding opposition to the CAA, saying he has filed a writ petition in the Supreme Court<\/a> against the Act.<\/p>\n

He also expressed concern that the implementation of CAA will negatively impact the entire northeastern region, which has suffered due to significant influxes in the past.<\/p>\n

Choudhury claimed that to get political mileage during the Lok Sabha elections and to divert attention from the electoral bond issue, the CAA is being implemented now.<\/p>\n

Assam had witnessed violent protests in 2019 and early 2020 after Parliament passed the CAA, which makes minority communities such as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan eligible to apply for Indian citizenship. Five people were killed in the protests.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
