Tharoor questions passport citizenship clarity

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized the government's stance that passports and Aadhaar cards are not definitive proof of Indian citizenship, calling it an 'absurd legal paradox.' He proposed a dual-document policy to resolve public confusion. The MEA clarified passports are travel documents, not citizenship proof, creating legal ambiguity. Tharoor's solution aims to streamline citizenship verification through combined documentation. The debate highlights challenges in defining citizenship status under current laws.
