The draft law proposes that Indian should not number more than 15 per cent of Kuwait's population. This means if the bill is passed, up to 8 lakh Indians will have to leave the country.
This bill has been mooted by five parliamentarians. It has been approved by the legal and legislative committee of the national assembly of Kuwait. The bill now will be considered by a standing committee, which will finalise the draft for fixing the quota system of expatriates. If passed in the current form, around 25 lakh foreign workers will have to leave Kuwait.
