Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 in Lok Sabha. https://t.co/V8sumLvLiz
— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) December 9, 2019
As leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, Shashi Tharoor, Prahlad Joshi and Amit Shah exchanged heated arguments, Twitter was not sure how to react and had mixed emotions.
Some simply believed it was a violation of their constitutional rights:
During introduction of Citizenship Bill in Lok Sabha, HM @AmitShah says ‘massacres’ against Hindus continue in Bangladesh.. and we thought that Dhaka was our friendliest South Asian neighbour. New wounds being opened up which we thought were healing..

Neither #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 nor the NRC process offer any solutions to India’s national developmental challenges. They will light a million fires and divert resources & mental bandwidth away from what’s necessary.

#CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 is an insult to Muslims & against our constitution. This bill is tabled in Parliament by the government only to treat Muslims as second class citizens & to polarize the environment. Each & every Indian should oppose this bill!

after the #CitizenshipBill in 1972, the President of Uganda, Idi Amin, ordered the expulsion of country’s South Asian minority, giving 90 days to leave the country. Approximately 80,000 refugees migrated, mostly Gujaratis.https://t.co/Qed3oztO9K
Citizen amendment bill is against the harmony of india…the opposition is strongly opposing it, including shiv sena …well done opposition..

Basically the Union Home Minister has given a clean chit to Islamabad on the persecution of Baloch, Shias, Ahmadis etc.

Stunning speech by Amit Shah on the #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 in the Lok Sabha. Crystal-clear, lucid, and delivered with sound rationale that only saps and scaremongers would refuse to see.

2019 was Modi’s year to begin with; it would be Shah’s to end with.

We are supporting this bill based on humanity ground.This bill is necessary for those who are suffering from suffering from regular torture of neighborhood countries. All whoever are opposing it, are not human being.

Though the introduction of the CAB has found successful majority there’s a long way to go before the bill gets passed.
People, please note, this is JUST the introduction. A debate will follow after this, which will then be followed by a vote.
— Meghnad (@Memeghnad) December 9, 2019
Only then will the #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 be passed in #LokSabha. Same process will happen in #RajyaSabha.

More updates are awaited after the complete discussion in both the houses of the Parliament.
