Regarding Article 14 of the Constitution, Amit Shah said that most of the members are opposing this bill, according to them this would hurt the right to equality. Amit said that Section 14 cannot stop Parliament from making laws on reasonable grounds. In 1971, Indira Gandhi decided that all those who came from Bangladesh would be given citizenship, so why did she not give citizenship to those who came from Pakistan. Shah said that if the Congress party does not divide the country on the basis of religion, then this bill is not needed.
