NEW DELHI – As Union Home Minister Amit Shah introduced the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in the Lok Sabha on Monday amid strong opposition, Twitterati has come out to oppose the religion-based legislation expressing their grave concern over changing the secular character of the nation.
The contentious bill which is facing opposition from across the country has provision to grant citizenship to all non-Muslim communities – Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Buddh, Parsi and Jain from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. People have been protesting against the bill due to granting citizenship on the basis of religion.
The protest also erupted on Twitter where the users raised their objections on the bill. Some people called the legislation “a direct attack on secular nation” while others highlighted how the bill is against the basic tenets of the constitutions. Many are lamenting at changing character of the nation and constitutions.

S Roy (TMC): This bill is a violation of Article 14 of the Constitution. The bill is divisive and unconstitutional. This law is against everything that our founding fathers envisioned.

#CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 is an insult to Muslims & against our constitution. This bill is tabled in Parliament by the government only to treat Muslims as 2nd class citizens & to polarize the environment. Every Indian should oppose this bill!#VoteAgainstCAB

CAB is designed to exclude Muslims.
You hate us, our religion, our identity, our people and still have an audacity to call yourself secular and tolerant. No, you’re not.Stop asking Muslims why don’t they vote for BJP. #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019

If we accept #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 that divides people on religious lines, tomorrow there will be another bill dividing people on caste. The bill is against the spirit of Indian constitution.
