SHILLONG, MAR 13: Opposition Congress legislative party (CLP) leader Ronnie V Lyngdoh on Wednesday termed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as petty politics of the BJP to divide people on religious lines ahead of the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

“You just see the CAA, it is petty politics of the BJP. Just before the elections they brought this (issue) just to divide the people on religious lines, which we condemn, which we will oppose and we request the people of India, the people of the state to vote for a party that stands for secularism, people that will protect the constitution, people that will ensure democracy is maintained,” Lyngdoh told reporters.

On Tuesday, Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma said that the CAA will not have any impact in the state of Meghalaya since Sixth Schedule areas have been exempted from its purview.

Reacting to this, Lyngdoh said, “We will feel more reassured if that is part and parcel of the CAA rules. Just by mere making statements I don’t think we can be so reassured that it will not be implemented. Let us see the rules that they have framed that Sixth Schedule areas are exempted then we will believe.”
