Congress Leader Adhir Chowdhury Urges Ordinance for Matua Citizenship

Congress Leader Adhir Chowdhury Urges Ordinance for Matua Citizenship

Imagine some people moved to India a long time ago from another country because they had problems there.

Now, India is checking everyone's papers to make sure they are citizens.

But these people don't have all the old papers the government is asking for, and they are worried they might lose their right to be called citizens or to vote in elections.

A politician wrote a letter to a big government leader, asking for a special rule to be made quickly.

This rule would help these people by not making them show such old and hard-to-find papers.

He wants to make sure they can keep their citizenship and continue to vote, as they have been doing for years.

Some of these people are even protesting by not eating food until their worries are heard and fixed.
