Citizenship bill suffers from process and content related weaknesses – Dr. Bimala Rai Paudyal

Speaking at the 12th Session of the National Assembly, Dr Bimala Rai Paudyal pointed out that despite of the good intention to provide citizenship to its citizens, the current amendment of the citizenship bill contains fault in the process and gross negligence of gender equality in the content. She urged the government and political parties to address the suggestions given by the President putting the nation at the center. She blamed the alliance of political parties interfering the sovereignty of the parliament and MPs, and asked the MPs to act without fear, without bias, and without prejudices putting the nation at the center.
