Jawarharlal Nehru University (JNU) former president Kanhaiya Kumar addresses a rally of Joint Forum to protest against NRC and CAB on December 09,2019 in Kolkata,India. Describing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and NRC as ploys to divert attention from "failures" of the Modi government, CPI leader Kanhaiya Kumar slammed the Centre on Monday, saying it is trying to change the Constitution. Kumar, who was in the city to address a rally against the National Register of Citizens (NRC), said people of the country should not cooperate with the Centre and "oppose their divisive policies". "The NRC and CAB are against the basic principles of our constitution, where secularism has been enshrined. The BJP government is trying to change our Constitution," he said. "If the people of this country launch non-cooperation, then it would be tough for BJP to run the government," Kumar added. Members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities, who come from Afghanistan, Bangladesh or Pakistan facing persecution there, will not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship when the proposed amendments to the six-decade-old Citizenship Act come into effect. According to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019, the new law, however, will not be applicable in the Inner Line Permit (ILP) regime areas and those tribal regions which are governed under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. "The NRC and the CAB are desperate efforts by the BJP government to divert attention from its failures at all fronts, be it economic or agricultural," Kumar said.

The refugee camps are devoid of basic amenities like running water. A mother bathes her baby from a plastic pot. Kutupalong, Bangladesh, 21.02.17 . The Rohingya Muslim refugees of Bangladesh are originally inhabitants of the Arakan province of Myanmar. However, when citizenship of Myanmar was denied in the 1990s, and torture by military and Buddhist extremist forces increased, the community was forced to take refuge in the makeshift camps of Bangladesh. More than a million Rohingyas are today living without basic amenities in the Government camps like Kutupalong. The future is equally stark as the Bangladesh Govt plans to relocate the people to distant islands of Thengar Char, where even communication is yet to be developed. Such appalling is the condition that the UN claims the Rohingyas to be one of the most persecuted communities in the world.
