India defended its contentious citizenship law as an internal issue Tuesday as the UN rights chief sought to join efforts challenging the legislation in the country’s highest court.

The law, which makes it easier for religious minorities from three neighbouring countries to get Indian citizenship — but not if they are Muslim — was the spark for last week’s deadly riots in New Delhi.

More than 42 people were killed and hundreds wounded in the worst violence to rock the capital in decades.

That followed street demonstrations that have occasionally turned deadly across the Hindu-majority country since the law was approved by parliament in December.

‘The Citizenship Amendment Act is an internal matter of India and concerns the sovereign right of the Indian parliament to make laws,’ foreign ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumar said.

Dozens of petitions filed in the Supreme Court, including by social rights activists and political parties, are challenging the law’s constitutionality.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet informed India on Monday of its application to be a third party in one petition brought by a former civil servant, Kumar said.

The court is hearing all the petitions together.

Kumar said the government was confident in the legality of the law, which was approved by parliament in December.

The UN application came as the government Tuesday summoned the Iranian ambassador over tweets by foreign minister Javad Zarif condemning the ‘wave of organised violence against Indian Muslims’ in the Delhi violence.

Kumar said a ‘strong protest was lodged against the unwarranted remarks’, adding that they were ‘not acceptable’.

Don't worry. This kind of UN action will make the world know how secular is JATPAT India. MM seems to be a good teacher of BJP politicians but can it now avoid criticism all around the world?

Indian politicians are the most incompetent. They are unsuccessful in building up the country's economy and failing to do so they are indulging in dividing the country into communal lines.

This kind of UN action

Care to explain which UN?

Indian human rights record is terrible. Good to find international human rights organisations stepping in. Arabs are also somehow awakening to Indian state terrorism.

Very good news!

Arab countries love to appease and worship Hind. Iran expressed displeasure about CAA and its Delhi Ambassador was reprimanded over the govt stance.

And SC will show the door to them at next instant.
CAA passed by the Indian Parliament is India's own matter .Foreign bodies are anot allowed to interfere here.
India can decide the eligibility of the citizenship for the refugees.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
