What is the purpose of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019?
Detailed Explanation:
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 grants citizenship to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who entered India on or before 31 December 2014 and faced religious persecution in their home countries.
Options 1, 2, and 3 relate to immigration control or identification mechanisms like NRC, which are separate from CAA's purpose of providing refuge to persecuted minorities.
Therefore, granting citizenship to persecuted minority groups makes Option 4 the correct answer.
