Will a minor spelling error in the Aadhaar card affect your fate? Such fears are haunting many Muslims in Mumbai like Mohammad Asif in the wake of the CAA and NRC After the notification of the Citizenship Amendment Act rules last month, many are rushing to get their documentation in order Even on the night of Ramzan, advocate Nadeem Siddiqui's office in Mumbai Central is bustling with activity 43-year-old Siddiqui, a lawyer, helps people with free legal advice to ensure that their identity documents are free from discrepancies “What you see here is the office we’ve setup for aiding people with documentation correction. At first, we used to organise camps for the same, now we’ve shifted to this office. If there are any corrections needed in any type of document that proves your identity - whether it’s Aadhaar or PAN card, voter ID, passport, or birth certificate- we advise people on how and where to get them done. If it’s to be done online, then we do it online. And whatever is done only offline, we advise people on where to go in order to make the changes.” Siddiqui had started this initiative in 2020, when the CAA-NRC came into the limelight. The final draft of National Register of Citizens, or NRC, excluded 19.06 lakh people of the 3.3 crore people who had applied for inclusion in Assam The exercise was done to document the legal citizens of India. Critics have said that the government could use the list to deprive some Muslims, who could be marked as doubtful citizens, as CAA paves the way for granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan who entered India before December 31st, 2014.
