BSP supremo Mayawati on Friday questioned the Centre's haste in getting the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill passed in Parliament and said it would have been better had the same promptness been shown in introducing strict laws to check crimes against women.
In a tweet in Hindi, she said, "It is well known that the BSP strongly opposed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill in both the Houses of Parliament and also voted against it."
She added, "Merely writing letters to states in this connection is not going to serve any meaningful purpose."
