The Conservatives’ points-based immigration system has been the main focus of their weekend campaigning.

Even as Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) in the Lok Sabha on Monday, the entire North-East erupted in anger, indignation and a sense of betrayal. Betrayal, because the Assam Accord of 1985, signed by the then Prime Minister of India, Rajeev Gandhi, himself had fixed the “cut-off” date for granting citizenship to immigrants from East Pakistan/Bangladesh as March 24, 1971. The CAB advances the date to December 31. 2014. In other words, all those who migrated from Bangladesh to Assam and the North-Eastern States during the last 44 years will be accorded citizenship. The fear in these States is that their demographic pattern will change as most of these migrants are living in this area. Passing of the CAB will make them citizens.
