Parliament LIVE : Home Minister Amit Shah to Move Citizenship Bill In Rajya Sabha : 11-12-2019 #RajyaSabhaCitizenshipBill2019 Citizenship Amendment Bill In Rajya Sabha Updates: The controversial legislation provides that Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians fleeing persecution in Muslim-majority Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan can be granted citizenship. As protests continue against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which was cleared by the Lok Sabha on Monday amid vehement opposition, the bill is set to be tabled in Rajya Sabha today. While the BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) enjoy an overwhelming majority in the lower house that helped it get 311 votes in favor of the bill, and 80 against in the lower house, the party's hold on the Rajya Sabha is wobblier. With a current strength of 240, the majority mark in the upper house is 121. The NDA, which includes parties like AIADMK, Janata Dal-United, and the Akali Dal, has 116 members and expects the support of 14 others, taking its numbers to 130. Violent protests have erupted in northeastern states against the bill, which seeks to make it easier for non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh to become Indian citizens.
