CAB not about Indian citizens but illegal migrants, says BJP leader Chandra Bose at India Today Conclave-East 2019

The controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which was cleared by the Union cabinet on Wednesday, is not final and there is a possibility that more amendments will be introduced, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has said.

BJP leader Chandra Kumar Bose was speaking on the first day of the India Today Conclave-East, in Kolkata on Friday. The session saw panellists discussing the bill which seeks to grant citizenship to non-Muslim immigrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan if they faced religious persecution there.
