No Last Page In New Passports, Some To Turn Orange: How Will It Impact You?
The government's decision to offer orange-coloured passports for economically weaker and less educated citizens has resulted in a lot of protests. There are also concerns on the decision to remove the last page of the passport. The last page contains proof of address, names of spouse, parents and other details. But it's the new orange-coloured passports that some say is blatantly unjustified and discriminatory. The government, though, feels the move was necessary to protect some of India's most vulnerable citizens when they travel abroad. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: is the new orange-coloured passport discriminatory? Is this part of some sort of new apartheid as some political leaders have alleged?
