Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), which is spearheading the protests against CAB, on January 17, claimed that around two million Hindu Bangladeshis would become Indian Citizens if the Bill is passes, reports The Shillong Times. KMSS Advisor Akhil Gogoi stated that ‘The BJP and Himanta Biswa Sarma is saying that only eight lakh Hindu Bangladeshis, who are already staying here, will get citizenship. But ourassessment is that 20 lakh people are present in Assam at this moment and they will get citizenship as soon as the Bill is passed. He further claimed that as per Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics, there are around 17 million Hindus, which is 10.7 per cent of that country’s totalpopulation. He added that ‘If the Bill is passed, this will pave the ways for these 1.7 crore people in Bangladesh to come to Assam and get Indian nationality as there isno cut-off date in the Bill. So, there is a possibility that a total of 1.9 crore people are likely to get Indian citizenship in coming years’

Meghalaya Chief Minister (CM), Conrad K. Sangma on January 18 urged Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to reconsider the passing of Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), 2016, reports Morung Express. The CM stated that ‘We have expressed our concerns about the Citizenship Amendment Bill. All the coalition partners of the Meghalaya Government as well as Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga have expressed dissatisfaction over the Bill. So, we have asked the Government to reconsider the Bill’. When asked about the stance of his Government, the CM stated that ‘we will take a call when the time comes. We are still in discussion with them. I don’t think it is correct time to comment on that. The Bill will affect the North-East to a large extent. It is against the aspirations of the people and can have serious repercussions on the region’s law and order’.

Government of India (GoI) on January 23 cleared amendment to Article 280 and the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution, reports Assam Tribune. The move envisages improving the financial resources and administrative powers of the Autonomous District Councils (ADC) of Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura. The amendment also paves the way for constitution of State Finance Commissions in Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura. Union Law and Justice Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad stated that a cabinet meeting approved the landmark amendment that will significantly increase financial resources and powers of the Autonomous Districts Councils in the four North-eastern states. The amendment proposes to rename the existing autonomous councils as Karbi Anglong Autonomous Territorial Council (KAATC), Dima Hasao Autonomous Territorial Council (DHATC), Garo Hills Autonomous Territorial Council (GHATC), Khasi Hills Autonomous Territorial Council (KHATC), Jaintia Hills Autonomous Territorial Council (JHATC) and Tripura Tribal Area Autonomous Territorial Council (TTAATC) as the present jurisdiction of these councils extends to more than one District.

The Union Minister also added that amendment will fulfil the commitments made under Memoranda of Settlement (MoS) signed by the Government of India, state governments of Assam and Meghalaya, United People’s Democratic Solidarity (UPDS), Dima Halam Daogah (DHD) and A’chik National Volunteers’ Council (ANVC).

Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30. Officials stated that ‘The possibility of Chinese agencies trying to influence the Northeast-based militants to create disturbance during the polls cannot be ruled out, but such groups have very limited capability after their camps were destroyed by Myanmar Army’. Sources further pointed out that though India has cordial relations with Bangladesh, the possibility of the anti-India forces, which have bases in that country, trying to create trouble during the polls cannot be ruled out and that is why, the security of India-Bangladesh border cannot be overlooked. Terrorist outfits like Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Neo JMB, which has links with the Islamic State, Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) are still active in Bangladesh and they may try to sneak into India to create trouble during the polls.

It has prescribed death penalty for any of our members if found fleeing with weapons or sharing classified information of our organisation with the enemies’. He also added that ‘During trial in the ‘court’ of our organisation, they were found guilty on both counts and as a result, awarded capital punishment’. He further stated that ‘None among us is above our ‘constitution’. We hail those who die fighting for our cause as ‘martyrs’. However, we view those who are killed for fleeing with weapons or acting as informers of the enemies as criminals. We don’t remember them nor do we inform their families of their death’.

Making it clear that NESO will agitate against the bill, he also downplayed the exemption of some Northeastern states and particular areas from its purview. “We have seen that certain exemptions are there, but as far as Meghalaya is concerned, we are having Sixth Schedule since 1952 but that has not stopped the influx of people into our state”, he said. Meanwhile, KSU general secretary Donald Thabah said, “We are disappointed because despite the fact that we met the Union home minister and aired our grievances regarding the ramifications of the bill for the indigenous population of Meghalaya, they decided to go ahead. “He said that the Centre is not concerned about the plight and aspirations of the people of the North East. Citing figures, Thabah said that there are around 14 million Bangladeshi Hindus whereas Khasis number just 1.4 million.

The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisations, an umbrella body of pressure groups, has rejected the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, saying that the act will facilitate immigration of illegal immigrants as it does not exempt the entire state, reports The Telegraph. On December 6, CMSO chairman Robertjune Kharjahrin said the proposed bill exempts only the tribal areas of Meghalaya, Assam, Mizoram and Tripura, while “The entire state of Manipur will be under the bill. The non-tribal areas of Tripura have not been exempted either”. adding that the bill should not be passed. He further said that while Meghalaya is not covered by inner-line permit, the ordinance to amend the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016, has still not received the Governor’s assent.
