I dont think there is anything wrong to give citizenship to the right people. If the madhises are correct then they should be provided citizenship, its their right. I am not too knowledgible about the issue but if someone is born in Nepal he has right to be a citizen in Nepal like any other Nepalese. Of course one has to investigate how rightful their claims are, to avoid fraudulent claims, people might start taking dual citizenship in Nepal as well as in India. If not , if they are born here lived here, and for some reasons previous governments have not provided citizenship then they should. I am talking bout the rightful ones, also it should be made law that ones claiming fraudulent citizenship should be felony and strict punishment should be implied. Hey if they are true then theres non wrong. Its just verification of their claim that needs attention.
