Aizawl, December 8 (NNN): Mizoram’s apex student body, Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) on Saturday accused the BJP led NDA government of attempting to create a rift among the Northeastern states by trying to exempt some of the areas in the region under the purview of the Bill.
The student body expressed skepticism about the reports that the Inner Line Permit (ILP) areas and Sixth Schedule areas of the Northeastern states would be exempted from the purview of the bill.
Meanwhile, along with constituent members, the MZP on Saturday convened an emergent meeting here and unanimously agreed to respond to a call given by North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) to observe bandh across the region on Tuesday.
MZP president, B Vanlaltana said that the student body has agreed to observe strike across the state as a token of solidarity to the people of Northeast in general and NESO in particular.
The MZP leader alleged that the Centre is trying to create divisions among the people of Northeast by trying to exempt some states from the purview of the proposed CAB and include others within its ambit.
Vanlaltana then said that the student body is not fully convinced with the reports which stated that the bill seeks to exempt the Inner Line Permit areas and Sixth Schedule areas of the Northeastern states.
