Ramaswami: Disability Rights Organisations - The statement said that the disabled citizens of India view the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 as being violative of the fundamental principles of the Indian constitution. It reminded that the preamble, citizenship provisions (Article 5 to 11) and the section on fundamental rights in the Indian constitution underline the principles of equality and non-discrimination. “The CAA is not a mere change in the statute but is a law that seeks to fundamentally alter the character of the Indian republic. Indian citizenship flows from the constitution of India that grants it as a fundamental right. A right cannot be religion specific or country of origin specific,” said the statement.
