The daily, quoted by The Hindu, further noted that the CAA will have a major "spillover effect" on the Hindu minorities in the region. "At the regional level, conflicts are likely to emerge between India and neighboring countries, especially those having a Hindu population. India cannot move all Hindus to India and the issue of protection of foreign Hindus may arise."
