Political stance on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) is turning out to be one of the key campaign issues for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls in the Malabar region, which has a sizeable presence of voters from the Muslim community.
The Union government notified rules for the CAA, designed to grant citizenship rights to migrants belonging to six religions except Islam from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, on March 11.
While candidates of the Left Democratic Front (LDF), especially the Communist Party of India (Marxist), are targeting the Congress for its alleged ambivalent position on the issue, the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has sought a stay on its implementation in the Supreme Court.
