MUMBAI (Reuters) - Home Minister Amit Shah accused some opposition parties on Tuesday of misleading people over a contentious new law that makes it easier for non-Muslims from neighbouring countries to gain citizenship.
Shah said the law - which has triggered violent protests - would have no power to strip people of their citizenship and that Muslims in India would not be affected.
