NEW DELHI: A day after the Rajya Sabha passed the Citizen Amendment Bill making the process of securing Indian citizenship easier for non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, several Delhi BJP leaders met Hindu refugees from Pakistan on Thursday. The Lok Sabha had cleared the Bill on Monday.
Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari met the refugee families in north Delhi’s Majnu Ka Tila and celebrated the passage of the Bill with them. He also accused the opposition of spreading rumours that the Bill was against Muslims living in the country. “It is not against the Muslims living in the country. It is a humane bill that will alleviate the pain of around one crore minorities from the neighbouring countries who have taken refuge in India,” he claimed.
The party leaders also celebrated the birth of a girl at the refugee camp, who has been named Nagarikta. “With the passage of the Bill, a wave of happiness can be seen at the Hindu refugee camps,” Rajya Sabha MP Vijay Goel said. Nearly 200 Hindu refugee families have been living at Majnu Ka Tila for over 10 years.
Union health minister Harsh Vardhan met the refugees in Adarsh Nagar while the leader of opposition in Delhi assembly, Vijender Gupta, met a few families in Rohini.
“Heart warming robust cries of “LONG LIVE MODI JI” resounded in the refugee colonies of my constituency today. Thousands of men & women danced joyfully to the beat of dhols celebrating passage of #CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019 in Parliament,” Vardhan tweeted after the visit.
Gupta said the refugees would be able to live in an atmosphere of freedom, respect and security and earn their livelihood like the rest of Indians.

Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance. Hence it’s imperative in the interest of societal development that its children and youth are well educated. It’s a shame that Delhi despite being the capital of India is not fully literate whereas a small state like Kerala has attained 100% literacy.
Wateris vital for the existence of life but we need to realize that like all the other resources it is not unlimited and, going by the experts’ opinion, the next war could be fought because of it.
Youth Development Youth is the backbone of our country’s progress and we all need to work towards their overall development. Apart from providing training & employment in traditional careers I have always encouraged active youth participation in politics.
Housing To own a home, irrespective of the size, is a dream cherished by many. I understand this sentiment and that is why I championed the cause to help protect the applicants who were promised homes and felt cheated by the Delhi government.
Power is one of the basic amenities of life happens to be a matter of great concern for the citizens of Delhi. Faulty meters, power shortage and inflated power bills are the most common grievances faced by every other citizen.
