IUML has demanded a stay on the notification.
The petition states that it was not implemented for four and a half years, but notifying it now raises questions about it.

What is CAA?
It is noteworthy that the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) was implemented in the country four years after it was passed by the Parliament.
