In the Lok Sabha, Amit Shah said that a total of 29 speakers expressed their views but all agreed with the objectives of the bill.

He said that these bills will add another pearl to the chain of hundreds of progressive changes brought under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Amit Shah said that “the Bill we have tabled is a Bill to give rights to those people who were deprived for years, who were deprived of rights, who lost their country, state, house, land and their property in their own country and became destitute. “

He said that this is a Bill to honour the backward classes of people with the constitutional term Other Backward Classes. The Union Home Minister requested the House to cooperate for passing the Bill as the purpose of this Bill is very sacred.
