“He no longer has the moral and legal right to continue as the governor of the state,” Kharjahrin added.
Kharjahrin said the indigenous people of Meghalaya oppose the CAB but the governor sided with illegal immigrants of Pakistan, Afganistan and Bangladeshi by supporting the CAB.
“So what right does he have to remain as the governor. If he wants to give his personal opinion, nobody can stop him, but let him resign first as governor, and then give his personal opinion whatever he likes,” the HYC leader said.
According to a news agency, the Meghalaya governor termed the CAB as a “step in the right direction”.
