New Delhi, Dec 11 (PTI) Hailing the passage of citizenship amendment bill by parliament, BJP's working president JP Nadda on Wednesday said minorities from the neighbouring countries who faced religious persecution have got justice with this legislation.

Thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah who piloted the bill, Nadda said "this amended bill will provide minorities (from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan) facing religious persecution the opportunity to lead a dignified life in India."

In a series of tweets, Nadda said, "These displace minority communities which were facing injustice for long have today got justice through the efforts of the Modi government."
