CAB only for those whose roots are in India: Rajnath Singh | Exclusive

In an exclusive interview to India Today TV, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is for those people whose roots are in India.

On allegations that CAB is exclusionary to Muslims, Rajnath Singh said, "The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is being brought for those people whose roots are in India but stay or stayed on in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. And if they are being persecuted for religious reasons, we are providing them citizenship."
