BySwarajya Staff

DMK MP Dayanidhi Maran on Monday (9 December) was schooled by social media users after he implied ignorance over Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) being a part of India.

As quoted by ANI, Maran while vehemently opposing the Citizenship Amendment Bill, questioned as to what will happen to the Muslim in PoK if they wish to come to India. Maran also alleged that Christians were only included in the bill, over fear of Western countries.

Soon after his statement, various social media user schooled him over his PoK point by pointing out that it is already an integral part of India and its residents, by implication are Indian citizens.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill was tabled in the Lok Sabha today and is expected to easily clear the lower house thanks to the majority enjoyed by the BJP.
