The CAA changes this by an amendment in section 1 b on illegal immigrants. The term “illegal immigrants” was introduced in 2003 under the Vajpayee Government. However even though its intention was clear, it did not define illegal immigrant by religion. The Modi Government has now completed this. In the CAA it amends Sec 1 b to include “any person belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian community from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan who entered India on or before December 2014 will not be considered an illegal immigrant.”
