Citizen Amendment Bill 2019

The Citizenship Amendment Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) are aimed at "dividing" the country on communal lines, former Union minister Yashwant Sinha said on Monday. Mr Sinha added that if Mahatma Gandhi were alive today, he would have led an agitation against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for taking "communal" decisions.

As violent protests against the amended Citizenship Act continued in the northeast, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada on Friday issued travel advisoriesasking their citizens to "exercise caution" while travelling to the region for any purpose.

A day after the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in the parliament, the Goa Congress sought to know what would be the fate of Goans who have opted for a Portuguese passport.

Less than 12 hours before the Union cabinet led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi met to pass the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill that led to widespread protests in the entire Northeast in run-up to the 2019 general election, there was a hush-hush meeting In New Delhi's Assam Bhawan.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lashed out at the BJP government at the Centre on Monday for planning to introduce the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), 2019 in Parliament and said the proposed legislation is a "trap" like the National Register of Citizen (NRC) to exclude Bengalis and Hindus as legal citizens of the country...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his 2019 general elections campaign in the northeast with a massive rally in southern Assam's Silchar earlier this month. Besides the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, the Prime Minister also spoke about the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which is being updated in Assam to weed out illegal migrants.
