The Congress will issue a three-line whip to its members of Rajya Sabha to vote against the citizenship bill, party general secretary in-charge for Assam Harish Rawat said Wednesday.
Talking to reporters after separate meetings with Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Ghulam Nabi Azad, Rawat said the party is always concerned about Assam and the Northeast and it will continue to do so.
"As per the directive of the Congress president, the party will issue a three-line whip to its members of Rajya Sabha to vote against the bill," he said, adding it will try to rope in like-minded parties
