Brussels: A joint motion, combining five different resolutions tabled by Members of the European Parliament against India’s Citizenship Amendment Act, was debated at the Plenary session in Brussels, with an expected vote on the motion on Thursday postponed until March.
The MEP Shaffaq Mohammed and others such as S&D’s John Howarth and VERTS/ALE’s Scott Ainslie described the CAA as a “highly discriminatory” legislation and alleged that the EU had crumbled in the face of India’s diplomatic lobby and prioritised trade and business interests over human rights concerns by postponing a vote on the motion.
One of the groups behind the motion, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament , said the reason for the postponement was because the CAA was undergoing a legal process in India. The motion takes note of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights statement last month, which described the CAA as “fundamentally discriminatory in nature”, and also of other UN as well as the European Union guidelines on human rights as it calls on the Indian government to “repeal the discriminatory amendments”.
The Indian government has maintained that the CAA, which was passed by the Indian Parliament last month, is an internal matter of the country and stressed that the goal is to protect the oppressed minorities of neighbouring countries.
