Dimapur, January 8 (MExN): The controversial citizenship amendment bill 2019 which has finally been passed in the Lok Sabha today, amidst bandh and protest across Northeast states “will hurt integrity and security of diverse India.”
In a press release issued by Information and Publicity Wing, Nagaland Public Rights Awareness and Action Forum (NPRAAF), it stated that it will “develop trust deficits between the North eastern people and the NDA Government which has entered into peace talks with various organisation and Government’s assurances of commitment on act east policy.”
NPRAAF further contended that the bill favored the refugees for citizenship at the expense of national security and paved the way particularly in north eastern states to become “haven of dubious foreigners which is already plagued by influx of illegal immigrants.” While expressing resentment that the sentiments of the affected North eastern people were totally ignored, NPRAAF said that the parliament has “crushed people's voice murdering democracy.”
