Recently we wrote a blog about Loksabha Passes citizenship Amendment bill with 311 votes in favour and 80 votes in against it. The purpose of the proposing citizenship amendment bill is to grant citizenship to the immigrated non-Muslims Community who immigrated before December 2014.
On Last day i.e. Wednesday, the bill was proposed to Rajya sabha and passed in Rajysabha by 125 votes in favour and 99 votes against it. The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill voting began after the debates of six hours in Rajya Sabha.
Now the bill will be proposed for the President’s assent.

Amit Shah Versus Opposition parties
Opposition parties give a various criticising statement against the bill some statements are
- “Congress party is against any form of discrimination against anybody in this country. So, anybody who discriminates against anybody who is Indian, we are against them. That is our line. We believe that India belongs to everybody– all communities, all religions, all cultures,” Gandhi said in Kozhikode.
- TMC leader Derek O’Brien, who was present at the meeting, said NRC was a trap and so is CAB.
- “NRC and CAB are two sides of the same coin and the opposition is united against it,” said CPI’s D Raja.
To defend the bill Amit Shah give statements to give justice to “crores of people belonging to minorities”
- “It will not hurt any Articles of the Constitution,”
- “We are not taking away the citizenship of anyone. Instead, we are giving citizenship to minorities from three countries,”
