The main opposition CPN-UML expressed its disagreement with the certification of the Citizenship Bill.

CPN-UML General Secretary Shankar Pokharel has given an explanation after a confusion been created on the UML’s objection about the citizenship bill and about the ordinance that UML was trying to put forward .

While giving an explanation, he said that his party believes that at least the same system should be maintained between India and Nepal in terms of Matrimonial adoption. He said that the current provision in India is that citizenship is acquired within 7 years of marriage and in Nepal, citizenship is acquired immediately after marriage.

Similarly, he said that the constitution provides for the citizenship system to reveal the territorial identity, but it is not included in the current bill. Similarly, he has said that his party disagrees with the bill because it has ignored the parliamentary process.

He also said that it is not a natural process to prove the flawed and incomplete bill without entering into the parliament and without entering into the serious questions raised constitutionally by the former president.
He also said that the old inactive bill passed through the backdoor on the event of PM’s visit to India is not a naturally driven process.
