Q. Consider the following statements regarding the Amendments to the Citizenship Act, 1986:

1. They introduced dual citizenship in India.
2. They provided for voting rights at the age of 18 years.
3. They made it difficult for refugees from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to acquire Indian citizenship.

Which of the above statements is/are correct? Select the correct option from the codes below:
Answer: Only 3
Notes: The Citizenship Act does not provide for dual citizenship in India. Voting rights at 18 years were ensured by the 61st Constitutional Amendment Act, 1988, not by the Citizenship Act. The 1986 amendments tightened citizenship by birth provisions, making it difficult for refugees from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh to acquire citizenship. Therefore, only statement 3 is correct.
