"Make Changes In CAA": Akali Dal MP's Request Amid Afghanistan Crisis
NDTV
India has been carrying out evacuation operations for more than aweek after Taliban's return to power in Afghanistan after two decades.
Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal today urged for a review of the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) as she highlighted the escalating crisis in Afghanistan where Taliban's return to power has compelled thousands to escape. The government should priortise the "rehabilitation of Hindus and Sikhs" coming from Afghanistan to "provide them a safe haven" in India, Ms Badal said. We fear not just the loss of human lives but also desecration of shrines & a number of rare handwritten copies of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Appeal to @DrSJaishankar/@MEAIndia to ensure that along with Hindu/Sikh brethren, holy books too are brought home safely with full dignity. Requesting @AmitShah ji & Govt of India for necc amendments in CAA to cover Sikhs+Hindus of Afghanistan who have taken refuge in 2020 & 2021India has taken a humanitarian step by supporting minorities of Afghanistan & it would be great to help them by granting Indian citizenship pic.twitter.com/Q88tuwOvIc ਧੰਨ ਧੰਨ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗ੍ਰੰਥ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਜੀSurrealBlessedHumblingThere come moments of mixed emotions in one's life which are difficult to explain.I feel particularly privileged to be able to perform seva in this momentous journey of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.Waheguru mehar kare 🙏 pic.twitter.com/CpHu7kXnBu Happy to learn that 3 Swaroops of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji have reached New Delhi through a special flight from Kabul. 78 people including 25 Indian nationals & 44 Afghan Sikhs have also landed in India.

I urge PM @narendramodi & HM @AmitShah to make changes in CAA and facilitate their rehabilitation on priority," Harsimrat Kaur Badal wrote in her tweet. The appeal to grant citizenship to those who have taken refuge in India was also raised on Tuesday by the Akali Dal's Manjinder Singh Sirsa, who also heads the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management committee. "Requesting @AmitShah ji & Govt of India for necc amendments in CAA to cover Sikhs + Hindus of Afghanistan who have taken refuge in 2020 & 2021 India has taken a humanitarian step by supporting minorities of Afghanistan & it would be great to help them by granting Indian citizenship (sic)," he tweeted along with a letter to the government.
