Actually, the Citizenship Amendment Bill is a bill that talks about giving citizenship of India to illegal refugees from 6 communities coming from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. In these 6 communities ((Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Christian, Jain, and Zoroastrian), Muslims coming from these countries will not be given this citizenship and this is the root of its opposition in India.

Key features of Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019

1. A person can be given an OCI card under the Citizenship Act 1955 if he is of Indian origin (eg, a former citizen of India or their descendants or spouse of a person of Indian origin). Now the Act of 2019 gives the OCI card the facility to travel in India, work in the country and study.

The Citizenship Act 2016 provided that an OCI card holder’s card could be canceled for these 5 reasons; He Fraudulently obtaining registration, showing disinterest in the Constitution, fostering friendship with the enemy during war, playing with India’s sovereignty, protection of the state or public interest, or two years within 5 years of receipt of the OCI card or Sentenced to more imprisonment.

So these were some provisions of the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 which gives citizenship of India to people from 6 communities of 3 countries.

However, some people are arguing that this amendment is a violation of Article 14 of the Constitution as it opposes discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, sex, place, etc. with anyone. Hopefully, the government will take the right decision after listening to all the parties.

Before the T20 World Cup, Yuzvendra Chahal said, “Pakistan has a good squad, however…”

Team India has already started preparing for the T20 World Cup, which starts on October 16, after finishing the T20 International matches against South Africa. The Men in Blue played a warm-up game against Western Australia and will play one more game before opening their campaign on October 23 against Pakistan in Melbourne.

The same thing was done by Team India in the last competition, which resulted in a difficult 10-wicket loss for the Men in Blue to Babar Azam and his team. Although Pakistan boasts of an equally outstanding line-up group, the fans are expecting for a change in fate with a new captain and coach.

Yuzvendra Chahal, who will participate in his maiden T20 World Cup match, discussed the contest and noted that having already faced Pakistan, he won’t feel much pressure. The spinner said in an exclusive interview with Dainik Jagran that when you’ve faced a specific opponent before, you don’t worry as much the second time around.

Prior to the match versus Pakistan, the media and internet have created a lot of excitement. However, for those of us who play cricket, this is just another game, and the pressure increases if we feel it. I use the internet pretty frequently, but I don’t allow myself to be disturbed by what is said online.

He also praised Pakistan as a strong squad, but he added that the team’s primary emphasis is on its performance. “Pakistan is a good team, but the only thing that matters is how we play. Everything depends on how you play on game day, therefore that is the most crucial factor, he continued.

Team India’s total in the match against Pakistan last year was 151/7 after 20 overs. With the exception of Virat Kohli, the Pakistani pace attack, led by Shaheen Shah Afridi, destroyed the top order. In response, Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan successfully defended the goal with 13 extra balls. Since then, India and Pakistan have faced off twice, with each team earning a victory. This time around, it’s still unclear if Afridi would participate in the competition.

As the anticipation for the T20 World Cup builds, Indian spinner Yuzvendra Chahal shared his thoughts on Pakistan’s team, sparking conversations among fans and cricket enthusiasts. Speaking candidly in an interview, Chahal acknowledged Pakistan’s strong squad, saying, “Pakistan has a good squad, however, the game depends on how you perform on the day.”

Chahal emphasized that while talent and team composition matter, cricket is unpredictable, and key matches often hinge on who handles pressure better. He noted that Pakistan has several match-winners, but consistency and execution will play a crucial role in their campaign. “It’s not just about individual brilliance,” he said, “but how the entire team comes together in crunch situations.”

The spinner also spoke about India’s preparations for the tournament, highlighting the team’s focus on building momentum and working on strategies tailored to different opponents. He expressed confidence in India’s squad, saying they have a balanced team capable of adapting to varying conditions. “We’ve learned from past games and are working to minimize errors,” he added.

Chahal’s remarks reflect the mutual respect between cricketing nations while acknowledging the high stakes of the World Cup. His level-headed approach underscores the importance of staying focused amidst the hype surrounding marquee clashes like India vs. Pakistan. Fans eagerly await the electrifying encounters ahead, hoping for thrilling performances and Rizwan successfully defended the goal to unforgettable moments.
