After the Lok Sabha, the Rajya Sabha also passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB). There were 125 votes in favor of the bill. 105 votes against. This time the bill will become law only if the President signs it. A vote is held on whether the bill will be sent to the select committee before the original vote. A total of 14 amendments were proposed by MPs from different parties. But all of them were rejected in the referendum. The Citizenship Amendment Bill was hotly debated in the Rajya Sabha. The bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday after it was passed in the Lok Sabha on Monday. There was a heated debate between the ruling and opposition MPs. Referring to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Rajya Sabha on the same day, Amit Shah claimed, "Millions of people have been religiously deceived. The bill will give rights to those refugees. ”The Union Home Minister assured that there was no reason for Muslims living in the country to be apprehensive. In his reply in the evening, Amit Shah said that the bill was not brought for political purposes. The previous government could not deal with the issue properly. Attacking the BJP on behalf of the opposition Congress, Anand Sharma said, "This bill is a blow to the soul of India." He also questioned why the BJP was in a hurry with the bill. Anand Sharma also responded to Amit Shah's allegation in the Lok Sabha that the Congress was responsible for the partition of the country.
He directly blamed the Hindu Mahasabha and the Muslim League for dividing the country. The Trinamool Congress has also fired at the BJP based on Amit Shah's words. Speaking on the note, party MP Derek O'Brien said, "Despite your assurances, there are concerns about CAB. Because, even at the time of note confiscation, the Prime Minister had given assurance. But everyone knows the consequences. "
