  • Quote

    Citizenship Bill for those who live by their faith: Modi

  • "Citizenship Bill issue is not related only to Northeast or Assam — it is for people who want to live by their faith and for that have to save their lives and escape and come to Maa Bharti. What they had to undergo you can understand when you meet them," said PM Modi.

    What the Citizenship Bill issue is all about

    What the Citizenship Bill issue is all about
  • PM Modi's visit comes at a time when the Northeast, especially Assam, has been polarized by the Citizenship Bill, which aims to provide Indian citizenship to Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Parsi, Jain, and Christian illegal immigrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

    Groups in Assam see the bill as a 'threat' to indigenous communities as it goes against the Assam Accord which states that any person entering Assam after the midnight of March 24, 1971 would be labelled a foreigner.

  • Information

    Status of the Citizenship Bill now

  • The Citizenship Bill was passed in the Lok Sabha during the Winter Session of the Parliament, and is currently awaiting its fate in the Rajya Sabha.
