Abhishek Banerjee (TMC) said that the bill was a cover up for the botched up Assam NRC exercise. It is meant to protect those Hindus who happened to get excluded from the final NRC list.(5/n)#CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019

The supporters of the communal #CAB are feeling energized by the supportive comments of Harish Salve. After all, if one of the costliest lawyers in India supports the bill, everything should be fine, right?But one who is not a devotee cannot think like that.(1/n)

So what's Salve saying? It's basically not much different from what Amit Shah said in Parliament.Article 14 permits unequal treatment of unequals; and, under-inclusion is not unconstitutional - this is the essence of Salve's(Shah's) argument.So how does it operate?(2/n)

As per the #CAB, a Bangladeshi Hindu who entered India before the cut off date will not be treated as an illegal migrant, and will be eligible for Indian Citizenship. But a Rohingya Muslim will be barred and liable to be deported or detained in a detention centre.(3/n)

For the defenders of the bill, both these persons are unequal and hence can be treated unequally. Why unequal? Because their religions and nationality are different.(4/n)#CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019

But for a person who believes in humanity, both these persons are equal. Both belong to the same class of persons who seek asylum due to persecution on the basis of identity.(5/n)

Only a bigoted person can see them as different and unequal, based on their identities. A bigot won't be seeing the similarities of their sufferings, but the differences in their religions.The core unjustness of the Bill is that it legalizes such bigoted thinking.(6/n)

On under-inclusion : its permissible only on limited grounds, say a resource crunch. If you are excluding persons on the basis of religion, that's unjust and inhuman. If you don't see any problem with that, then I'm sorry to say you are a miserable, narrow minded bigot.(7/n)

Though Anand Patwardhan's @anandverite@twitter.com "Ram Ke Nam" points to a depressing reality, there are some scenes which reassure one's faith in human goodness. Many ordinary villagers & devotees were opposed to mosque demolition and understood the communal agenda.Sharing some of them.
