The contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in the Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, a process that completed the legislative process for giving Indian citizenship to non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. The day was described as a "landmark day" for India and its ethos of compassion and brotherhood by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Meanwhile, the Bill was termed as 'unconstitutional', 'divisive" and "an assault on the democratic and secular fabric of the nation", by the Opposition.
