"We Aren't Fixing Islam's Problems": Lawyer Harish Salve Slams CAA Critics
NDTV
On the Rohingya issue and the CAA, top lawyer Harish Salve said it is possible people of a State religion in a theocratic State are treated differently, but added, "Islam is a religion. And if Islam is not being properly administered, it is for the people of the Islamic faith to fix it"
Lawyer Harish Salve has pointed out those criticising the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) do not fully understand the objective of this law or the context behind why India decided on notifying the CAA.
In an exclusive interview to NDTV on Saturday, Mr Salve explained the CAA is in harmony with constitutional morality and constitutional legality.
The CAA will help minorities from three neighbouring Islamic nations fast-track their Indian citizenship process if they fled due to religious persecution.
