Manipur Congress opposes CAB
Meanwhile, the Congress party in Manipur has opposed the decision to pass the controversial Citizenship Amendment Bill.
Reacting to Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s assurance at the NEDA meeting in Guwahati that the Centre will re-introduce Citizenship Amendment Bill and get it passed in the Parliament, Congress Spokesperson Ningombam Bupenda Meitei said the party strongly oppose the move and intent of the Modi government.
“Is North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) a platform to declare CAB to be passed by Modi government?” Bhupendra Meitei, condemning Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement, said.
“We oppose Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) as it will destroy the primary existence of our indigenous people on our indigenous lands in our own North East India region,” he added.
Meitei asked all NEDA (North-East Democratic Alliance) allies to clarify their stand on CAB and asked whether their support to BJP would continue further after the statement from Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
Rahul Gandhi has already made his position clear on his total opposition to Citizenship Amendment Bill, Meitei added.
Most political parties and NGOs in the state are opposing the Bill as there is strong apprehension of the indigenous people becoming a minority in the state as it happened in Tripura. (Agencies)
