As we have posted, the Hindu Samaj is tremendously upset with the CAA Act.
Partition took place in 1947 and all nations involved passed citizenship laws in 1950-51. The matter ended then. In today's scenario India is not a dumping ground for flotsam and jetsam of so-called Hindus (or non-Muslims).
As far as Hindu Samaj is concerned, It is true that after partition at the December 1949 annual conference in Kolkata Sh. Ashutosh Lahiri (Chairman) moved a resolution incorporating
"It is imperative that a "National Home" for the Hindus should be established on this sacred soil of Bharat where they may set up a Hindu Government of their own design and solve their internal and external problems—Social, political as well as economic — in their own way .The present State of Bharat, (and after reunion with Pakistan, the entire land from the Himalayas to the Seas) to be the "National Home of the Hindus," or "Hindu-Rashtra," and shall take upon its shoulders the moral and legal responsibility of protecting and promoting Hindus' cultural, economic and political interests, and of rehabilitating Hindu refugees within its territorial jurisdiction in the event of non-Hindu people turning hostile to their Hindu neighbours. "
However, Parliament subsequently passed a series of laws known as "Hindu Code", and unless and until the Hindu Code of 1955-56 is scrapped it is impossible for Hindu Samaj to agree to CAA. The reasons are very complex and require a deep knowledge of law and history, ruling out discussion on this forum.

I am entirely in agreement with you. To put it simply, I am also of
the view that the CAA is good, but those opposing the CAA are doing
so only to instigate the public against the ruling government. Those
opposing the CAA have caused immense damage to life and property, and,
as important , to our national image. I have not heard any of them
explaining what exactly is wrong with the CAA, other than vague and
unsubstantiated allegations that CAA is communal and
unconstitutional. I am very clear that those responsible must be held
accountable for their actions.
You have made an interesting point ( if I understand you correctly);
whether or not an elected government has the moral authority to make
laws if it does not have a majority vote share . On this I would like
to state that no government in India since our Independence has ever
had a vote share of more than 50%. Even Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's
Congress got a vote share of just 45% in 1952 general elections- when
there was really no opposition party to talk about! NDA in 2019 won a
vote share of 44.9%. Surely we can not question their the moral
authority to make laws.
Of course that does not mean that the opposition should let bad laws
be passed unopposed. Opposing a bad law is a right, and a duty of the
opposition. But opposition to a bad law should be peaceful, and as
important, the opposition should clearly spell out what specifically
is wrong with the law. On both these counts the opposition appears to
be at fault.
