YSRCP backs Bill, asks for modifications

YSRCP MP Mithun Reddy, extending support for the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha on Monday, said that the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh believes in "religious harmony and in transparent governance".

However, he said, the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led party had concerns regarding the exclusion of Muslims in the bill.

"Bill will bring relief to those suffering, but excludes Muslims. Even in Pakistan, some Muslim sects like Ahmedias, suffer," he said.
