AKM_49: POLLUTION AND POLITICS | DELHI INSIDE OUT | CAA

Delhi winters started with air pollution which spread only in NCR, become worst with the political pollution which spread across the country.
Survey shows the AQI (Air Quality Index) was at highest mark because of air pollution in NCR region.
Althought there is no survey/parameter to measure VI (Violence Index), but it seems that this time it is at one of the highest mark across the country, not only in NCR. Thanks to CAA and Political parties for disturbing the fabric of peace ☮️ in the country.

Multiple causes of Air pollution in National capital region includes the passenger and commercial vehicals combustion, construction work, factories etc. But the cause of worst air in the early winters is the burning of Parali (left over after harvesting rice).
Issue seeks the attention of parliament in early winter session, but as once the environment became little normal, politicians forget the issue for next year as usual. Media however was attentive on the environment pollution, but once CAB put on the parliament attracted all attention of country.
Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) after passing from both houses and signed from president turned into Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). This act provides the citizenship to those minorities of three neighboring countries Afganistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who are living here since or before 31 dec 2014.

Argument of government here is that the minorities in these three countries are suppressed in these three pro islamik counties, therefore it is duty of india to provide home in the country.

It seems all right with this act, then why there is too much noise  all over the country.
Here is the catch, basically behind the noise there are below concerns:

1. When Govt says they are providing citizenship to the exploited minorities of neighbouring countries. Then why they didn't see it in big canvas i.e. why they are not protecting the minorities of non-Muslim majority neighboring states, Like Tamils in Srilanka, Rohingya muslims in Myamaar.
Ain't these minorities exploited ?
Also why other muslim subgroups which are also exploited in these muslim states like Ahmadi/shiya considered in the list ?

2. Second and major concern is NRC after this CAA. The way in which govt projected the bill, creating a kind of fear in our own minority. Concern arise after Assam NRC where out of 19 lakh illegal migrants, 14 lakhs were non-Muslim. Before NRC govt has thought that most of the illegal migrants would be Muslims. So to prevent them they immediately come with CAA.

Does this act required actually ?
Since it is very clear that this act is only for polarising the vote bank in hindu and muslims, otherwise there was no actual need of this act, govt can legalize refugees without projecting the act in this way, they can legalize them on case to case basis, it would be better approach.
Similarly opposition using it for their votebank by creating fear in the mind of minorities, most of the people who are protesting with violence does not actually know the facts of this act.

Definetly Violence can neither be the solution of it. Also everyone has to understand that it is for sure that govt can neither expell anyone, whoever living here from years, from the country whatever law can come, nor govt can create the detention centre for them. This is just for votebank politics, Nothing else.
Everyone specially who involved in protest has to understand the act and corresponding concerns carefully, and should protest in pure non-violence process. Which is really powerfull.
