The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019, which makes minority immigrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who have entered India before December 31, 2014 eligible for Indian citizenship, has been passed in the Lok Sabha. The bill has been passed amid the protests in Assam against the bill. Congress and TMC MPs staged a walk-out during the discussion over the bill.
