TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday alleged that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is an attempt by the “Modi-Shah government” to ethnically cleanse the Northeast and a “criminal attack” on the region.
Protests have broken out in several parts of the Northeast over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill which was passed in the Lok Sabha on Monday and will be placed in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday.
