Opposition to Citizenship Amendment Bill by Opposition

New Delhi, November 16, 2019 Saturday

The central government wants to introduce a Citizenship Amendment Bill in the winter session of Parliament, which is opposed by most opposition parties, and especially the northeastern states.

The ruling party has argued that the bill will help Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, etc., become citizens of Indian citizenship as the law becomes law.

But opposition parties regard the issue as anti-Muslim. When the idea of ​​the Amaya National Register of Citizens (NRC) was first introduced, Assam raised strong opposition. Then Mamata Banerjee protested on this register issue in West Bengal and publicly claimed that I would not allow the NRC to be implemented in my state.

However, the central government is committed to introduce the bill. The argument is that people who have illegally entered different parts of the country and who are cursing the rights of the local people should be expelled from here. This work, however, is not easy to speak.

If the bill becomes law, the rules governing citizenship will change. The Center intends to amend the 1965 Law on Citizenship. It has also been argued that some parties encroach on their own country as a vote bank. This often causes violence. It is important in this regard that five seven Bengali laborers were killed in Jammu and Kashmir some time ago.
