Do not break our brotherhood: KPA opposes the Citizenship Amendment Bill

The Kerala Pravasi Association takes a stand against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, denouncing citizenship based on caste and religion.


KPA’s Chairman, Mr. Rajendran Vellapalath, and President, Mrs. Aswani Nambarambath, have petitioned the Supreme Court, challenging the discriminatory central policy.
In 1947, India was once divided in the name of religion. While Pakistan went on to become a religious state, India founded its secular policies that protected the beliefs of all religions and rejected religious divides.


Our constitution, post-independence, embraced secularism, and it is an important journey we must continue as real citizens. We reject the notion of an official religion or religious state.
The Citizenship Amendment Bill threatens this very ethos as discriminating against refugees defies humanity.


KPA stands firm, seeking judicial redressal to rectify such actions. Hence, we have filed a petition before the Supreme Court of India. We anticipate the court’s hearing of KPA’s Public Interest Litigation (PIL) and issuance of an interim order.
