Singing superstar Zubeen Garg has once again firmly opposed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016. Attending a Bihu programme in Sonari, the singer even went on to say that one should tear up the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
He also voiced against political parties like Congress and BJP on their stand regarding the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill issue. “I do not care Congress or BJP,” said Zubeen Garg. Earlier, in a video posted on popular social-networking website ‘facebook’ along with a strongly-worded message, the heartthrob of Assam termed the bill “a grave threat to the core of Indian Constitution”.
