CAB should be thrown into dustbin: CPI

By Newmai News

IMPHAL, Feb 3 - Reiterating CPI�s firm stand against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB), CPI national secretary, Vinay Biswam has said that �it should be thrown into the dustbin�.

The sitting Rajya Sabha member is taking part in the campaign against the Bill being spearheaded by nine political parties � CPI, CPI (M), AAP, NCP, RSP, PRJA, JDS, BSP and FB. He had taken part in a protest rally in Imphal organised by the nine parties on Saturday.

On Sunday, he addressed a news conference where Biswam reiterated CPI�s firm stand against the Bill. He said, �The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill is anti-people, it is draconian in nature, it should be thrown into the dustbin�. He also said that his party, CPI, was well aware of the sentiments of the people of Manipur and North-eastern States. CPI will take an active role in preventing passing of the Bill and lobbying other like-minded parties to defeat the Bill if introduced in the Rajya Sabha, he added.

Reiterating that the CAB is anti-national and unconstitutional, the Communist leader alleged that the Bill is not meant for the Indian citizens but to divide the people of the country on communal lines.
