Although Shah has categorically stated that citizenship will not be granted to Rohingyas, the Citizenship Amendment Bill does not specify their future. Another Rohingya, who wished to stay anonymous, said that he would rather die than go back to Myanmar. Since the announcement that the Citizenship Amendment Bill would be introduced, police are keeping a close watch on the Rohingyas in Balapur..
