Taking strong exception to some of the provisions of citizenship bill which proposes granting naturalized citizenship to foreign women married to Nepali men only seven years after the marriage, the Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP)  cadres staged a demonstration in Biratnagar on Tuesday.

The party has claimed that the provision of a seven-year waiting period for foreign women married to Nepali men to get naturalized citizenship is discriminatory. During the protest, party leaders demanded that discrimination against women and injustice against the Madhesi people be ended.
