Imphal, Jan 14,
As the parent body of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) had extended full support to the passing of the Citizen Amendment Bill 2016, the Manipur ABVP too seem left with no choice but to support the Bill even though almost all students’ organization of the state have been opposing the Bill. A release of the ABVP Head Quarter had openly backed the passing of the CAB and the silence of the Manipur ABVP branch showed that the ABVP Manipur support the Bill. Unlike in Assam where an ABVP leader quit the group and joined the AASU to agitate against the Bill, no one from the Manipur ABVP had so far comes up against the Bill.
In a statement the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) stated that they welcomes the passing of the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 in Lok Sabha addressing concerns of the persecuted minority refugees from our neighbouring countries, still languishing for basic human rights for decades starting since India’s Independence.
This bill will enable the Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Hindu, Parsi and Christian refuges from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan to get long awaited justice of being treated as equal humans when for years they have got shelter in various places across India. These very minorities have been reduced to a fraction of population at the hands of religious fanatics duly protected by the theocratic state.
The ABVP also term the uprising against the Bill in North East as the result of the false propaganda by the anti social element.
