Three foreigners got Indian citizenship in CAA, says Assam CM

Only three foreigners have received citizenship of India in Assam under the CAA against 12 applications, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of an official function here, he said it is



futile to discuss the CAA on the backdrop of such a low number of applications against the apprehension that lakhs of foreigners would get citizenship in Assam.

“In Assam, only three people have got citizenship under the CAA so far,” he said.
