WHY ANTI-CAA PROTESTS CONFINED TO ASSAM, TRIPURA:
Why in the news?
CAA protests primarily in Assam and Tripura due to exemptions elsewhere, historical refugee influxes, and perceived electoral implications.
Understanding the Reasons for Limited Anti-CAA Protests in Assam and Tripura:
- Recent implementation rules for the CAA have reignited dissent, primarily in Assam and Tripura, within the Northeast region.
- Most areas in the Northeast, excluding parts of Assam and Tripura, have been exempted from CAA provisions.
- The Act exempts tribal areas of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura under the Sixth Schedule, along with regions covered by the Inner Line Permit system.
