ITANAGAR: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students Union (AAPSU) Tuesday appealed to Mukut Mithi, Rajya Sabha member from the state, to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill when it is tabled in the Upper House by the BJP-led NDA government.
Mithi is a Congress MP. In a letter to the lone Rajya Sabha MP of the state, the apex students’s body of the state urged him to pursue the concerns of the people of Arunachal Pradesh with other political parties and the Centre. While drawing the attention of the MP towards the sensitive issue, the student union stressed on the urgent need to roll back the bill and ensure its rejection in the Rajya Sabha as it is “unconstitutional, anti-tribal and anti Northeast.”
The union said the AAPSU under the aegis of the North East Students’ Organization (NESO) along with the other constituent organisations have been rigorously protesting against the bill. (PTI)
