AIADMK slammed for supporting CAB that also excludes Sri Lankan Tamils

Even as the Lok Sabha passed the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, the AIADMK received severe criticism for having supported the Bill.
Bill excludes Muslim refugees of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh from the path to citizenship.
AIADMK’s decision to support the bill has drawn criticism from various quarters.
DMK MPs pointed out in parliament that the Bill excludes thousands of Tamil refugees who fled persecution in Sri Lanka, another of India’s neighbouring countries.
The AIADMK’s move to support the Bill despite its exclusion of Sri Lankan Tamils appears to be a U-turn for the party in the state.
