Dimapur, Jan. 15 (EMN): Rajya Sabha MP KG Kenye on Wednesday issued a statement explaining the reason for supporting the contentious Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019 in the Winter Session of Parliament.
The clarification came a week after the Naga People’s Front (NPF) suspended him from both primary and active membership of the party for going against its resolution to oppose the bill.
“As your M.P in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) in the Parliament of India, you deserve an explanation from me over the controversy surrounding the latest Amendment to the Citizenship Act of 1955 which has caused a storm in the public domain in the State of Nagaland and the Region,” read the statement.
“For want of completing Party formalities and the resultant misfortune, I profoundly regret the delay in reaching-out to you in time. In the following pages, with no legal background I wish to explain and share with you in my simple layman’s language certain facts of history and the realities underlining this contentious issue while reflecting on the background also dwelling on the present situation and the scope of the future as a consequence of this Bill. As the matter involves our over-all interest I seek to draw your fullest attention and consideration,” it added.
