NEW DELHI: AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday said the Citizenship Amendment Bill was aimed at making Muslims “stateless” and would lead to another Partition while TMC claimed the bill was anti-India and anti-Bengal. Invoking Mahatma Gandhi, Owaisi said Gandhi was called Mahatma after he tore the discriminatory citizenship card in South Africa, and then ripped the copy of the bill to mark his protest, inviting sharp reactions from the treasury benches whose members described the act as an “insult” to House. Owaisi said the bill was an insult to India’s freedom fighters and accused the government of working to marginalise the country’s Muslims. “The bill is against the Constitution...
