The controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) will likely be tabled in the Lok Sabha on December 9 and in the Rajya Sabha on December 10 next.
The Union Cabinet has already cleared the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill on Wednesday and the union home minister Amit Shah has announced that it will be passed at any cost, no matter the consequences.
While addressing a meeting of the BJP MPs on Tuesday, defence minister Rajnath Singh said that the necessity of passing CAB is same as the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir.
