Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Choudhury calls #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 regressive,anti-minority. @AmitShah hits back: says Bill not even .001%anti minority. Says will respond to every point raised by Congress but tells them not to `Walk Out' when he is responding. @IndiaToday
@AmitShah @IndiaToday TMC's Saugata Roy says #Constitution in danger. As MPs oppose, Prof Roy says: will you hit me now. Come hit me. Claims #CitizenshipAmendmentBill discriminatory. One Nation,one law BJP says but leaves Sixth schedule areas & inner line permit with citizenship Bill. TMC opposes bill
@AmitShah @IndiaToday AIMIM MP @asadowaisi comes out all guns blazing, says #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 violates Constitution, fundamental rights & SC order.

@AmitShah @IndiaToday @asadowaisi face discrimination in Afghanistan, Pakistan & Bangladesh. Even Muslims who face persecution may apply for citizenship, will be considered on merits.
