The regional party, while submitting a memorandum to the JPC in its public hearing on Citizenship (Amendment) Bill-2016 in Guwahati on Monday said that the proposed Bill is in total violation of the constitution. “We as a ruling partner of the coalition Government in the state we vehemently oppose the proposed amendment and demand that the Government withdraw the same forthwith. The Bill proposing the amendment to the Citizenship Act, 1955, violets the very secular, socialist and democratic ideals by segregating the citizens into religious sects. Hence, we oppose the proposed Bill and demand that the same is withdrawn immediately”, said the AGP in a release.
