4 years ago

Rastriya Janata Party (RJP) Nepal MP Mahendra Ray Yadav has strongly opposed the Citizenship Bill passed by the parliamentary committee.

In a meeting of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, Yadav accused the ruling CPN (Maoist) of trying to establish a wrong culture by violating past agreements on citizenship.

He urged to maintain the provision of citizenship as per the agreement reached between the then major political parties on citizenship after the second people's movement of 2062 BS.

He accused the government of trying to do injustice to the people of Terai-Madhesh and even to disrupt marital relations. Despite the provision of getting adopted citizenship within six months as per the agreement reached in 2063 BS, the government is now trying to sever ties with Madhes by violating the agreement, said Yadav.
