Shivsena's Sanjay Raut fails to give signal from the limited speech for if Shivsena is voting for or is against CABBill2019, "We have to clear our doubts on this bill, if we don't get satisfactory answers then our stand could be different from what we took in Lok Sabha"
New Delhi, December 11: Creating a 'Look who's talking' type of image for himself amongst the present, Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut on Wednesday, while voicing the opinion in relation to the Citizen's Amendment Bill in the Rajya Sabha urged the ruling party to not to play vote-bank politics, further flagrantly slamming over the CAB debate.
"Votebank politics should not be played, its not correct. Don't attempt to create a Hindu-Muslim divide again. Also nothing in this bill for Tamil Hindus of Sri Lanka", he said overriding the give time limit of speech by the Upper House. "We have to clear our doubts on this bill, if we don't get satisfactory answers then our stand could be different from what we took in Lok Sabha," he added affirmed.
Stiching to the rhetoric, Raut wondered why the leaders, parties and librandus opposing CABill2019 wanted Indian citizenship to Muslims of Pakistan, Bangladesh. "The Muslims who wanted a separate country in 1947, got it. What do you want to do by bringing them here? Break India again? Strange!", he added.
With his statement, the House probably could not get any signal from the limited speech for if Shivsena is voting for or against CABBill2019. Well it would have, if he had avoided rhetoric, allowing him to complete his say.
The Lok Sabha passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which seeks to provide Indian citizenship to non-Muslim refugees coming from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan after facing religious persecution there, a little past midnight on Monday after a heated debate that lasted over seven hours. The Bill, which was passed in the Lok Sabha with 311 members favouring it and 80 votings against it, was tabled in the Rajya Sabha for its nod.
Several amendments brought by opposition members, including one by a Shiv Sena MP, were defeated either by voice vote or division. According to the proposed legislation, members of Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian communities, who have come from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, till December 31, 2014 facing religious persecution there, will not be treated as illegal immigrants but given Indian citizenship.
