Although now it has been approved. According to the report, the passage of the bill has cleared the way for citizenship for 400,000 people who are deprived of their constitutional rights and are stateless in their own country.
Benefits of new citizenship law
In the year 2006, the monarchy collapsed in Nepal, after which a constitution came into force in the year 2015 after a democratic change in its governance system. Because of this, all Nepali citizens who were born before the implementation of the constitution got natural citizenship. But their children could not get citizenship.

This situation will not come after the amendment in the law. This approval has been given at a time when Nepal’s Prime Minister Pushpakmal Dahal had come to India for ‘Prachanda’ foreign tour.
Why was China not in favor of the amendment
