Speaking in a press meet organised by Press Chautari Nepal, Rupandehi in Butwal today, he stated that  there was no confusion that the bona fide Nepali citizen should get the citizenship without any pretext, the new Citizenship Bill brought by the government was wrong. "The government has brought the bill by sidelining the agreement forged in the State Affairs Committee. It is not in the country's interest," leader Gyawali said. Noting that the UML had proposed to include provision for providing naturalized citizenship to a foreign woman marrying a Nepali male citizen only after seven years of their marriage, he said the new bill has the provision which says that the process for the naturalized citizenship through marriage can be initiated immediately after the marriage, which is not appropriate.
