Bharat Ratna For "Cheap Thrills": Bhupen Hazarika's Son On Protest Mode

Music legend Bhupen Hazarika's son has lashed out at the government over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 -- a proposed law to grant citizenship to non-Muslim immigrants -- and has called the Bharat Ratna for his father "a display of short lived cheap thrills". Tez Hazarika, who is based in the US, said in a statement that he was unhappy how the centre planned to pass the "painfully unpopular" Bill which was against his father's beliefs and position.
