Reasons of criticism

This may be self-evident for anyone familiar with the matter, but at present, the article does not make clear on what grounds the CAB is being criticized for. Is it about easing the path to citizenship in general or about the exclusion of Muslim immigrants? Or are there various factions of protesters with different reasoning? It may not be possible to give one simple explanation, but any hint would be helpful. --80.151.251.9 (talk) 23:12, 15 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

From the Citizenship Amendment Act page:

The passage of the Act caused protests in India.[16] Muslim groups and secular groups have protested alleging religious discrimination. The people of Assam and other northeastern states continue to protest fearing that the non-Muslim illegal immigrants in their regions would be allowed to stay.[10]
