Citizenship Amendment Bill To Be Tabled Today, BJP Issues 3-Line Whip To All Its MPs For The Week

t is going to be an action-packed day of the Winter Session of Parliament as the highly contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill -- CAB -- is all set to be tabled in the Lok Sabha for passage today. Union Home Minister Amit Shah will introduce in the Lok Sabha the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill that seeks to grant Indian citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan escaping religious persecution there. The bill is likely to face strong opposition in Parliament as opposition parties are protesting against many clauses of the CAB. With Union Home Minister Amit Shah set to introduce the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill today, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has issued a whip to all its Lok Sabha members to remain present in the House for three days starting from December 9, sources in the party said on Sunday.
