Lucknow University will include the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as a topic in its syllabus under the political science subject, the university administration stated on Friday. The Head of Department (HoD) of Lucknow University's Political Science department, Shashi Shukla, said, "Under the political science subject, we will introduce CAA. He added that the topic will include what, why, and how the citizenship law was amended. Massive protests have erupted across the country against the new citizenship law. The BJP, however, has argued that the law has nothing to do with India's Muslims and only helps those who fled religious persecution in the neighbouring countries.
