SHILLONG: Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on Thursday said the proposed amendment to the Citizenship Act is being examined by the Parliamentary Committee.
Speaking to media persons here on Thursday, Rijiju said since the proposed amendment is under scrutiny, he cannot comment on the matter.
The proposed amendment will provide citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs and other minorities of neighbouring countries. However, the move has been vehemently opposed by the NGOs in Assam.
