The opposition says the Bill violates the Constitution
Current Affairs :The Lok Sabha on Monday passed the dubious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) with 311 in support and 80 against. The Bill is probably going to be taken up in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
In his answer to more than six-hour-long discussion on the Bill, Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanded that the proposed law doesn’t victimize Indian Muslims yet planned for ensuring proceeded with oppression of minorities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. He said the Bill was a consequence of the disappointment of the 1950 Nehru-Liaquat agreement. The home priest said there is a qualification between unlawful settlers and displaced people.
Individuals from the Congress, Trinamool Congress, Left gatherings and others questioned this, naming it troublesome and that it was a ‘trap’ and inseparably connected to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) work out, which has ‘fizzled’ in Assam.
Shah said there was no linkage, and just those enjoying “vote bank governmental issues” were considering it a snare. He charged “a few gatherings” of making an “air of dread”. “We are exceptionally evident that we will complete the NRC. This isn’t a ‘foundation’ for it, our declaration is the foundation,” Shah said.
AIMIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi said the Bill was a “scheme to make Muslims stateless”, and tore a duplicate of the Bill to feature his dissent. Individuals from the treasury seats said Owaisi had offended Parliament.
