Congress leader Manmohan Singh has raised the demand in Rajya Sabha in 2003. Rahul Gandhi should first seek clarification from Manmohan Singh," he added.Congress has been protesting against the amended citizenship law which seeks to grant citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh who entered India on or before 31, 2014.
