India news: Passport not proof of citizenship, ministry says
India is now in a citizenship crisis, at least a created one. The courts in the country have ruled that holding an Indian passport does not establish Indian citizenship. Earlier, it was declared that holding what is called an Adhaar (foundation) card is not proof of citizenship either.
Justice For All is deeply concerned that recent court and government positions on citizenship documents could create another pathway to disenfranchise Indian Muslims. If passports and Aadhaar cards are not treated as conclusive proof of citizenship, targeted communities could be pushed into legal limbo despite holding official identity documents.
This danger must be understood alongside the Citizenship Amendment Act and the BJP-RSS regime’s push for citizenship-verification systems such as the National Register of Citizens. For families without accessible birth records, these developments could turn routine paperwork into a tool of exclusion.
