European Parliament to debate on anti-CAA resolution

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which has triggered a set of domino protests across the country and led to 26 deaths, will be taken up for debate in the European Parliament next week. The European Parliament will also vote on a draft resolution, which states the law will “create the largest statelessness crisis in the world,” PTI reported.

The resolution was tabled by the European United Left/ Nordic Green Left (GUE/NGL) Group in the Parliament. It will be taken up for discussion next week on Wednesday and voted on the day after.

“The CAA marks a dangerous shift in the way citizenship will be determined in India and is set to create the largest statelessness crisis in the world and cause immense human suffering,” the resolution says.
