Speaking to media persons Publicity secretary of Singjamei Apunba Nupi Lup Sumati Sougrakpam said that the passing of the Citizen Amendment Bill 2016 in Lok Sabha has made North East region in a state of total chaos.
She strongly condemned the passing of the bill in Lok Sabha.
She urges the Chief Ministers and the leaders of the North Eastern states including Manipur which will have the most impact because of it to stand against the bill.
