Get citizenship bill or Assam goes to Jinnahs: BJP leader
Senior Assam minister and BJP leader Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday said that if the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 is not passed, Assam will go to the "Jinnahs". "People are concerned that we are trying to bring somebody (outsiders), which is false," he added. The Bill proposes to make minority immigrants from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan eligible for Indian citizenship.
