Framing of CAA rules spawns protests across Kerala

Framing of CAA rules spawns protests across Kerala

The Hindu
Wednesday, March 13, 2024 3:18 AM GMT

The notification of the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 by the Union government triggered protests across Kerala

The notification of the Citizenship (Amendment) Rules, 2024 by the Union government on Monday that would enable the implementation of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) triggered protests across Kerala on March 12.

Youth Congress workers blocked trains in Kozhikode and Ernakulam. Left Democratic Front (LDF) activists laid siege to the Accountant General’s office in Thiruvananthapuram. Democratic Youth Front of India (DYFI) activists vandalised Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) election hoardings in the capital. Social Democratic Party of India workers marched to Raj Bhavan.

The police swung batons to chase away Fraternity Movement workers who attempted to enter the All India Radio precincts in Kasaragod. In several places, anti-CAA protesters burnt Prime Minister Narendra Modi in effigy. Several organisations held torchlight processions.

Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan will head a Congress march to Raj Bhavan on Wednesday.

On the electoral front, the Congress and Communist Party of India (Marxist) [CPI(M)] vied with each other to tap into the growing social fear that the CAA was patently anti-Muslim, ran against the grain of the Constitution and was a precursor to creating a Hindu majoritarian polity.

Indian Union Muslim League general secretary P.K. Kunhalikutty told reporters in Malappuram that the BJP has sought to create a communal flash point to divide the country on religious lines for electoral dividends.

In Kannur, LDF convener E.P. Jayarajan said the BJP’s attempt to insert religion as a criterion for citizenship ran against the Constitution’s basic structure. CAA’s enforcement would have undesirable consequences for Muslim families in Kasaragod and Kannur. Shashi Tharoor, MP, said the INDIA bloc would relegate the discriminatory and divisive law to the dustbin if voted to power at the Centre.
