No political agenda behind CAB: Shah

December 09, 2019 17:19

Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha on the Citizenship Amendment Bill: "There is no political agenda behind this bill. No question of injustice with anyone. In 1947, all refugees which came in, all were accepted by the Indian Constitution, there would hardly be any region of the country where refugees from West and East Pakistan didn't settle. From Manmohan Singhji to LK Advaniji, all belong to this category.

"We are including Manipur in Inner Line Permit system, this big issue has now been resolved. I thank PM Modi on behalf of people of Manipur for fulfilling this long standing demand.

"I've discussed this matter for 119 hours in recent times with over 140 NGOs, political parties and CMs of several states. Their suggestions have been duly included in this Bill."
