What is the Citizenship (Amendment), Bill? 

The Citizenship Bill seeks to grant citizenship to all non-Muslim refugees from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan if they faced religious persecution in these neighbouring countries. Lok Sabha passed the Citizenship Bill with a majority of 311 votes against 80 votes in the Lower House where 391 members were present and voted. In order to secure Indian citizenship, the refugees should have been living in India before December 31, 2014. For the bill to be passed in the upper house of the Parliament i.e. Rajya Sabha, the govt requires the support of 123 MPs in the 245-member House.
