I doubt their intention on UAPA bill: Digvijaya Singh

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Bill passed the Rajya Sabha test on Friday. The Bill now enabled the government to designate individuals as terrorists and seize his properties.  It was passed in parliament with 147 Ayes and 42 Noes.

As the Bill was being discussed in the Upper House, senior Congress MP P Chidambaram hit at the government, saying “If you see reasons for amendment, it says 'to empower NIA'.In passing you say 'empowers Centre to add or remove an individual's name as a terrorist', this mischief is why we are opposing this amendment, we are not opposing Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.”
