“The general assembly has also discussed the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 which
facilitates the migration of Hindus and other minorities of Bangladesh, Pakistan and
Afghanistan and its impact on the indigenous peoples in the entire North-East, particularly in Boroland and reiterated its strong opposition,” stated the NDFB-R general secretary.
