SHILLONG: The Confederation of Hynniewtrep Social Organisation (CoHSO) has reiterated the demand for Inner Line Permit (ILP) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) and other laws to completely protect the minority indigenous communities.
In a statement issued here, chairman of CoHSO, Robert June Kharjahrin said the NRC with cut-off year 1971 will ensure the Bangladeshis in Meghalaya are deported.
According to him, exempting Meghalaya from the purview of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will be pointless as the foreigners will still find a way to the state. “The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill will make the NRC redundant, the ILP without NRC is also not complete,” he said.
Commenting on some statements to exempt Meghalaya from the implementation of bill,
Kharjahrin said CoHSO categorically stated it should not become a law.
Demanding that Bangladeshis should not be included in the purview of the bill, he remarked, “It if becomes an Act, crores of Bangladeshis will get Indian citizenship and will settle down in North East.”
STIEH supports off-the road protest
Meanwhile, the Saindur Tipkur Tipkha Ieng Ehrngiew Hynniewtrep (STIEH) has extended support to the stay off-the road protest starting from 7 pm of January 10 till 5 am on January 11.
In a statement issued here, the president of STIEH, Deiwi Tongper also expressed opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 which is seen as suppressing the indigenous communities of North East.
