AIMIM chief and MP Asaduddin Owaisi said "CAA is divisive and based on Godse's
thought that it wanted to reduce Muslims to second-class citizens".

Our objections to CAA remain the same. CAA is divisive and based on Godse's thought
that it wanted to reduce Muslims to second-class citizens. Give asylum to anyone
who is persecuted but citizenship must not be based on religion or nationality,"
Asaduddin Owaisi posted on X.

Waris Pathan,AIMIM Spokesperson


Accusing the BJP of 'polarization', ahead of elections, Pathan said, "Understand
the chronology. Look at the timing. Dates are going to be announced, 2024 Lok Sabha
elections are going to take place and the government suddenly thinks of notifying
it."
He questioned the government's inaction over the past five years and asserted that
the sudden notification was an attempt to polarize voters before the elections.

Mamata Banerjee,Chief Minister of West Bengal:


Let me see the rules first. The notification has not been issued yet. If people are
deprived of their rights under the rules, then we will fight against it. This is
BJP's publicity for elections, it is nothing else," the Trinamool Congress (TMC)
chief Mamata Banerjee said at a press conference in Kolkata.

President of All India Muslim Jamaat Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi:


All India Muslim Jamaat President Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi Bareilvi said he
welcomed the legislation, and tried to allay fears among the Muslim community,
saying that it wouldn't impact their citizenship status.
"The Govt of India has implemented the CAA law. I welcome this law. This should
have been done much earlier but better late than never... There are a lot of
misunderstandings among the Muslims regarding this law. This law has nothing to do
with Muslims. Earlier there was no law to provide citizenship to the non-Muslims
coming from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who faced atrocities based on
religion...," said the Maulana, speaking to reporters.

Amit Shah:
In February, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in categorical terms that CAA was
brought in to provide citizenship and not to take away anyone's citizenship.
"Minorities in our country, and specially our Muslim community, are being provoked.
CAA cannot snatch away anyone's citizenship because there is no provision in the
Act. CAA is an act to provide citizenship to refugees who were persecuted in
Bangladesh and Pakistan," Shah had said.
