‘No one is safe in India’- Sourav Ganguly’s daughter Sana fears the worst amidst CAA chaos

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has created a lot of ruckus across the country and over the last few days have grabbed the headlines. It’s now a law after Honourable President Ram Nath Kovind cleared it. There have been protests across the country against the Indian government, led by Honourable Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

The act seeks to amend the definition of illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The same includes Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Sikh and Parsi. They will be granted Indian citizenship in six years. Until now, 12 years was the eligibility criteria for the same, but the same has now been halved. However, the list of religions doesn’t consist Muslims.

CAA creating uproar in India

India is known as a secular state that is neutral to every other the religions. Hence, the CAA hasn’t gone down well with many by any means and therefore, the massive outrage. Even internet services in a number of states have been brought to a halt. Of late, after the CAA came to the fore, the students of Jamia Milia Islamia (JMI) in New Delhi were attacked by the Delhi Police.

The Police entered the university, allegedly fired tear gas shells and also resorted to lathi charge. The assault injured at least 100 students, who were taken to the hospital in ambulances. The attack sparked protests by students from IIT Madras to Aligarh Muslim University (AMU). The students claimed that they had not participated in violence, yet had to face the wrath of police.

A concerned Sana Ganguly

Amidst all the chaos and commotion over the last few days, Sana Ganguly, the daughter of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly, is worried. She condemned the CAA, saying that it’s a movement, built on hate. The 18-year-old reckons that not belonging from the Muslim and Christian community, doesn’t make one safe in a country like India.

Moreover, she feels that the hatred may turn towards women in the future and urged the people to understand the current scenario in order to keep India alive. She also took a dig at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), referring to their slogan ‘Jai Shri Ram’, which also created quite a bit of controversy. The young Sana posted a message on her Instagram story, but later deleted the post.
