Congress President Sonia Gandhi said that today marked a dark day in India's Constitutional history as the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill was passed in Parliament. "The bill...creates a disturbed, distorted and divided India where religion will become a determinant of nationhood," she said. The bill rejects the India that would be a free nation for all, irrespective of religion, she added.
