Prachanda feels glory on ratification of citizenship amendment bill
Kathmandu, 23 July: CPN Maoist Center supremo Pushpakamal Dahal Prachanda has claimed that the citizenship amendment bill having the provision of receiving a naturalized citizenship certificate was ratified from the efforts made by his party.
Prachanda said that after the endorsement of the bill, around six to seven hundred thousand people will be rewarded with Nepali citizenship.
Prachanda claimed that due to the efforts of his party, the citizenship amendment bill was ratified by resolving the long-standing issue of citizenship.
Prachanda, addressing a gathering in Sarlahi, has claimed the party’s ownership of ratification of the citizenship bill.
The House of Representatives on Friday, 22 July, endorsed the controversial Bill.
Immediately after Prachanda's Delhi visit, the Bill was ratified by Parliament by neglecting the amendment proposal registered by the opposition parties and also the dissatisfaction of different MPs from the ruling alliance.
Some members of the ruling alliance and also the opposition parties had demanded studying the provisions for providing naturalized citizenship to foreigners. They illustrated the example of India that foreigners should wait for seven years just to start the process of obtaining naturalised Indian citizenship. However, the supreme leaders in the government alliance had not only neglected but also passed the Bill from HoR through a conspiracy, as if, they had already given words to their foreign bosses.
