The contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 was tabled in the Rajya Sabha today by Home Minister Amit Shah, amid widespread protests against the proposed law in the Northeast. While the Modi-led government is confident of the Bill sailing through smoothly owing to the strength of numbers, the Opposition has decided to oppose it tooth and nail. Rajya Sabha approves The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2019 with 125 votes in favour and 105 against it.
