Urge the Indian Government to revoke the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)

Closed 85 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should engage with the Indian Prime Minister on his stance with Indian Muslims and to express the need to revoke CAA and prevent further bloodshed and violence against Indian Muslims.
The British government and public have a very humanitarian role and character within the international context. Where injustice is being done, we should try our utmost to stem it and guide the respective groups. At the very least, awareness should be raised through media and other outlets. The Muslims have been integral to Indian society for centuries. The world is one nation, one brotherhood. If one part is being persecuted, the rest should actively try and inhibit this violence.
