"I thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Home Minister and BJP president Amit Shah for getting the Citizenship Bill passed in Parliament. Our government only takes a decision in favour of mankind," he added.
The CAA grants citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists and Christians fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who came to India on or before December 31, 2014. (ANI)
