Referring to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) Bora said that Congress party will issue a whip for its members in the Rajya Sabha.
“February 13 is the last day of this parliament session. Although there is no inclusion of the Bill in the Business list of the Rajya Sabha, we can’t take it easily” he said adding “on 12thour part will issue a whip to all the members in the Rajya Sabha for their presence.”
He said that Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday decided that Congress will vote against the Bill.
