India / CAA:
Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is the Supreme Court's decision on the issue of the Revised Citizenship Act of India (CAA). Analysts believe that the law of the Central Government of India has come into question around the world as he sought to be included in the Supreme Court as a 'court-friendly' in the CAA case.
The Indian Foreign Ministry, however, protested the move in a statement stating that it was 'internal affairs of the state alone' and 'no foreign party has the right to interfere in that matter'.
Spokesperson of the Indian Foreign Ministry said,
"We are convinced that the CAA has constitutional validity. This is in line with the values of our Constitution. We give due respect to the human rights issues that have been raised or questioned after the tragedy of partition. We have full confidence in the independent judicial system of the country. There is confidence that the Supreme Court will support us in a strong and lawful position. ”
In a petition to the Supreme Court of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, the CAA praised the protection of religious minorities who were being persecuted from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, but said that the discrimination on the basis of religion was "reasonable" to see. It says that Muslims are not getting any benefit in India even though they are victims of religious persecution. But the minority Shiites, Ahmadis and Hazara communities in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh are suffering persecution, the Human Rights Commission reports.
