Citizenship Bill: BJP's 'Weak' Defence?

Does the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 violate India's Constitution? The bill changes the definition of illegal migrants by amending the Citizenship Act, 1955 to provide citizenship to illegal migrants, from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan, who are Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi or Christian.

On the show, the BJP's defense of the controversial citizenship bill: Does it fail the constitutional test?
