Guwahati (Assam), Feb 18: BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday said, his party will include Citizenship Amendment Bill in its 2019 general elections’ manifesto.
The Citizenship Amendment Bill provides Indian citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Addressing a public gathering at Assam BJP State office in Guwahati, Shah said: “Assam cannot prosper without Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB). We passed it in the Lok Sabha but the Centre failed to table it in the Rajya Sabha. The CAB will be added in our manifesto of the Lok Sabha elections and we are committed to take the Bill to the far reaches of Assam.”
