NATIONAL AFFAIRS

Citizenship Bill Binds Rivals

  •  Rivals in the battle of the ballot across Nagaland, Manipur and Mizoram seem to be bound by a common cause, opposition to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.
  • They include candidates of the Bharatiya Janata Party, which has vowed to get the Bill passed, if voted back to power.
  • There are State-specific issues, such as the elusive settlement to the Naga peace process in Nagaland and bridging the gap between the hills and plain dwellers of Manipur.
  • But thwarting the Bill is the overriding issue, most intensely in Mizoram where a regional party went to the extent, inviting a notice from the Election Commission in the process, of seeking the right to secede if the Bill is passed.
  • The three States have four Lok Sabha constituencies among them — two in Manipur and one each in Mizoram and Nagaland.
  • These seats, represented by those on the country's fringes, matter when mainstream political parties or alliances need support to form the government at the Centre.

GJM Splits over BJP Candidate

PERSONS IN NEWS
