Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet is reported to have approved the bill on Wednesday and now it is subject to approval by MPs.
, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s cabinet approved the bill on Wednesday and now it is subject to approval by MPs. As the BJP has a majority in the Indian parliament’s lower house, the bill is expected to pass into law.
The move is the latest BJP measure that specifically targets Muslim communities within India and territories under its control. Also in August, the country published a list of Indian citizens in the eastern state of Assam, excluding almost two million people, who up until that point had considered themselves Indian nationals.
