In March 2024, the Indian government officially notified the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), sparking controversy weeks before the Lok Sabha elections. This move has been strongly opposed, particularly by Muslim communities and various political parties. Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey criticized the timing of the notification, questioning why the government waited for 10 years, especially just before the election code of conduct is to be imposed. CPI(M) leader Md Salim highlighted the government's delay in notifying the rules, which took 5 years, and criticized its focus on emotive issues over addressing unemployment, education, and price rise concerns. NCP-SCP leader and MP, Supriya Sule, stated she would need to review the draft in detail before making a statement.
