TURA, Jan 27 - Four NGOs of Garo Hills, namely GSU, FKJGP, ADE and AYWO under the banner of NESO held a public meeting today against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAB) under the mission �Save Garo Hills, Save North East�. The speakers at the gathering took strong exception to the �second class� treatment allegedly being meted out to the people of NE, especially the tribals.
�The BJP-led NDA is forcing us to accept the Bill by placing unreasonable, dangerous and communal arguments. How can we accept such a Bill which will have serious implications and threatens our very existence,� said Tengsak Momin, GSU president.
Manseng Sangma, the assistant general secretary of NESO pushed for name change of places to indigenous ones. �Hawakhana, Araimile, Dermile, Prahari Nagar and many more places should be changed. The concerned authorities should take note of it and do the needful,� said Manseng.
The AYWO general secretary Sengbath Ch Marak stressed on total revamping of District Council and to strive towards the common objective.
