On December 1, the Pro-Talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) has expressed its reservation over its demands being “unnecessarily over discussed” at the peace talks which it feels is “stretching” the parleys, reports Assam Tribune. “In almost every round of talks, the ULFA leaders have been reiterating that all their demands are fundamental and cannot be ignored. These demands are within the constitutional framework and the government should not make any attempt to confuse or ask them to give up on any of it,” an unnamed source from the outfit said. The last round of talks between ULFA-PTF and Union Government’s Interlocutor AB Mathur was held in the last week of October in Guwahati.

The move to exempt some areas is an attempt to divide the people of Northeast.” Bawang further said, “We are one region. Assam and AASU [All Assam Student’s Union] have sacrificed so much. The Government of India has created a situation where they are leaving one leg intact and injuring the other leg.” the president of the Naga Students Federation (NSF) Ninoto Awomi, said that the students body was happy that Nagaland has been exempted but will continue to abide by the stand of the NESO, the umbrella body of student groups in the region which has been opposed to the proposed legislation.

On December 4, the North East Students Organisation (NESO) and the Khasi Students Union (KSU) on Wednesday vowed to oppose the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) come what may, hours after the Union Cabinet endorsed it, reports The Shillong Times. chairman of NESO, Samuel Jyrwa said that the organisation is going to oppose the move vehemently. “This is an act of injustice meted out to the people of the region and the Union government has always had this kind of attitude towards the indigenous people of the North East, right from the time India gained independence”, he said. Making it clear that NESO will agitate against the bill, he also downplayed the exemption of some Northeastern states and particular areas from its purview. “We have seen that certain exemptions are there, but as far as Meghalaya is concerned, we are having Sixth Schedule since 1952 but that has not stopped the influx of people into our state”, he said. Meanwhile, KSU general secretary Donald Thabah said, “We are disappointed because despite the fact that we met the Union home minister and aired our grievances regarding the ramifications of the bill for the indigenous population of Meghalaya, they decided to go ahead. “He said that the Centre is not concerned about the plight and aspirations of the people of the North East. Citing figures, Thabah said that there are around 14 million Bangladeshi Hindus whereas Khasis number just 1.4 million.

Manipur Governor Najma Heptulla on December 5 stated that insurgency movement in the state was “indulging in terrorism” in recent times, reports India Express. She stated that “In the recent times, there has been a noticeable change in the insurgent movement, shifting away from the ideology of insurgency and instead indulging in terrorism — planting bombs/IEDs at strategic locations which target innocent civilians, individual residences, commercial establishments and vehicles plying on National Highways, and extortion of money from officials”. The Governor also said that though National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) is under a ceasefire with the Government of India, they are still actively involved in extortion and other criminal activities in Manipur. Similarly, the UG outfits belonging to other tribes, which have entered into Suspension of Operation (SoO) agreements, are also involved in incidents of extortions.

The Confederation of Meghalaya Social Organisations, an umbrella body of pressure groups, has rejected the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, saying that the act will facilitate immigration of illegal immigrants as it does not exempt the entire state, reports The Telegraph. On December 6, CMSO chairman Robertjune Kharjahrin said the proposed bill exempts only the tribal areas of Meghalaya, Assam, Mizoram and Tripura, while “The entire state of Manipur will be under the bill. The non-tribal areas of Tripura have not been exempted either”. adding that the bill should not be passed. He further said that while Meghalaya is not covered by inner-line permit, the ordinance to amend the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016, has still not received the Governor’s assent. The ordinance seeks to make it mandatory for anyone who visits Meghalaya for more than 24 hours to pre-register themselves. In the absence of proper safeguards, Kharjahrin claimed, “Meghalaya will become a safe haven for Bangladeshi nationals who will become Indian citizens through the proposed bill.”

This Act, if not exempted now, will not only change the demography of Assam, but will also adversely affect official Assamese language, communities’ cultural assimilation, art and literature, finally leading to challenging the constitutional protection of new settlers as committed in the Assam Accord.” Nityananda Upadhyay, president of the BGP stated that “The Assam Accord is a national commitment by the government of India to the people of Assam.

The Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), a Sixth Schedule area exempted from the purview of CAA saw a massive protest against the law on December 26, reports The Telegraph. Over 10,000 people attended the protest. The rally is significant because thousands turned up in a CAA-exempted area, reflecting the people’s concern even in areas where outsiders are not allowed to buy land. A few anti-CAA protests have taken place in the BTAD but nothing of this scale so far. AASU General Secretary Lurinjyoyi Gogoi stated that “The rally received huge support as there is concern even in areas covered by the Sixth Schedule and inner-line permit. Garo hills (Sixth Schedule) in Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh (ILP) are hit by influx. Every year in Arunachal, there is drive to rid the state of ‘foreigners. It shows that no area is safe. We will never accept this unconstitutional Act which is detrimental to the indigenous people of Assam and will give constitutional safeguards to foreigners on religious lines.”
