Don't have numbers to stall Citizenship Amendment Bill: Opposition parties

The BJP has reached out to regional parties to support the Bill

The Congress, the Trinamool Congress and other parties opposed to the contentious Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) have decided that for the next few days they would rather put their efforts in creating awareness about the “divisive” nature of the proposed legislation rather than think about the numbers game in the Rajya Sabha in the hope to stall the Bill.

Opposition leaders, especially those in the Rajya Sabha, met on Thursday afternoon in Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad’s chamber in Parliament to discuss their strategy. They agreed that they were unlikely to win the vote in the Rajya Sabha
