In the settlements of Hindu migrants from Pakistan, the residents lit lamps and burst firecrackers on Monday night soon after CAA rules were notified.
"This is like real Ram Rajya for us," said a Hindu migrant from Pakistan living in Jodhpur as celebrations broke out after the Centre implemented the Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA, four years after the contentious law was passed by Parliament.
In the settlements of Hindu migrants from Pakistan, the residents lit lamps and burst firecrackers on Monday night soon after the rules to fast-track citizenship for undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who came to India before December 31, 2014, were unveiled.
"We had been waiting for this for long. With this (CAA) becoming a reality, many those in line for citizenship can hope to become Indian nationals soon," said Dinesh Bheel, a Hindu migrant from Pakistan.
