The passage of bill that provides 10 per cent quota for the general category poor in jobs and education is a "strong answer" by Parliament to those spreading lies on the move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here Wednesday.
Addressing a public rally here, Modi hoped the bill is passed in Rajya Sabha by members respecting the public opinion.
On the passage of the Citizenship Bill which seeks to provide Indian citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangaldesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan, Modi said, "I want to assure the people of Assam and North East that their rights will not be hurt after passage of the bill."
