🇮🇳 Is your passport really proof of Indian citizenship?
A fresh legal debate has reignited one of the most fundamental constitutional questions in India.
The Ministry of External Affairs has stated that a passport is primarily a travel document and not conclusive proof of Indian citizenship. This position has now been challenged by former Supreme Court Judge Justice Madan B. Lokur, who argues that the Passports Act, 1967 clearly recognizes that an Indian passport is issued only to an Indian citizen.
If a passport isn't enough to establish citizenship, then what document is? More importantly, what could this mean for the constitutional rights and identity of millions of Indians?
In this reel, we break down:
🔹 Why the MEA's stand has sparked controversy
🔹 Justice Lokur's legal arguments under the Passports Act
🔹 The constitutional implications of this debate
🔹 What it could mean for every Indian citizen
Watch till the end and tell us—Should an Indian passport be accepted as proof of citizenship?
