TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the opposition of speaking Pakistan’s language on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill and asserted that the proposed legislation will be written in “golden letters” in history.
Addressing the BJP parliamentary party meeting, Modi said the bill is as “historic” as the government’s decision to nullify Article 370, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi told reporters.
People who fled religious persecution have long lived a life of “uncertainty” in India and will get “permanent relief” once the proposed law comes into effect, the prime minister said.
Sources quoted Modi as telling BJP parliamentarians to bust the “myths” being spread about the bill. He said its passage in Parliament should not be the end of the matter and they should inform the masses about its details, it is learnt.
