Imphal, December 26 2019:
Questioning the rationale behind the rally planned by the State Government on December 29 supporting the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, the All Manipur Muslim Organisations' Coordinating Committee (AMMOCOC) has vehemently condemned the arrogant attitude of the Government in light of the public sentiments against the controversial Act.
Speaking to media persons at AMMOCOC office today afternoon, its spokesperson Abdur Razzaq reminded that in the past, during the issue of Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB), the Chief Minister had claimed that it was not passed in the Parliament taking the sentiments of the people into consideration.
However, now, the State Government is planning to organise a rally in favour of the CAA, which defies all logic and is totally uncalled for, he said, strongly condemning the nature of the State Government.
Demanding the rally to be called off immediately, he warned that if the Government fails to do so, AMMOCOC, in collaboration with the CSOs and the public, will be forced to launch intense agitation.
