West Bengal Promises Citizenship to 2.5 Lakh CAA Petitioners by 31 December; Matua Community in Focus

Quiz (3) Mains (1) Comments

Key Facts

Addressing the International Matua Gosai Conference at Thakurnagar in North 24 Parganas, West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari said only about 25,000 people have so far been granted citizenship under the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, and that the government would speed up hearings to give citizenship to 2.5 lakh petitioners by 31 December 2026. He added that eligible Scheduled Caste applicants would receive caste certificates and announced a ₹50-crore grant for the development of the Matua community. The Matuas are largely Namasudra Bengali Hindus with migration links to present-day Bangladesh. A promise of certificates is not the same as certificates issued, and citizenship and inclusion in the voter list are separate legal steps.

GK Context

The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 offers a path to Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who entered India on or before 31 December 2014; its rules were notified in March 2024. Article 11 empowers Parliament to regulate citizenship by law. The Matua Mahasangha traces its origin to Harichand Thakur, and Thakurnagar is its centre. Citizenship is a prerequisite for enrolment in the electoral roll.
