The Rajya Sabha’s decision to vote for the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) marked the defeat of the Indian democracy (Front page, “After a heated debate, RS clears Citizenship Bill,” Dec. 12) . It signalled victory of Hindutva over the Constitution enacted under the supervision of B.R. Ambedkar and was violative of the founding document’s basic structure. The Bill is a polarising measure and victimises people belonging to one community.
