NSF expressed displeasure at the three Naga Members of Parliament– TokhehoYepthomi (LS), KG Kenye (RS) and Lorhe S. Pfoze (LS, Manipur)- for voting in favour of the CAB “without considering the threat and the consequences” that it posed to the indigenous inhabitants of NE states.
NSF demanded that the three MPs publicly state the rationale behind their support for the Bill and also explain to the general public, as to why the Act will not affect the people they represent.
NSF has also slammed Government of India (GoI) for passing the contentious Bill without taking into account the sentiments and plea of the indigenous inhabitant of NE. Stating that it totally resented the injustice done by the Government of India, SF affirmed that would never ever support CAB, which is said was the “latest weapon” of the Centre to divide people of NE on “concessional lines.”
NSF said it did not believe in classification of illegal immigrant on religious lines as the federation regarded “all illegal immigrants as criminals” who should be treated accordingly.
