Amid widespread protests in the Northeast over the contentious citizenship bill, National Peoples Party (NPP) president and Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma on Saturday, 9 February, threatened that his party will quit the NDA if the proposed legislation is passed in Rajya Sabha.
The NPP, which is in power in Meghalaya and backs the governments in Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur and Nagaland, adopted a resolution to this effect at its general body convention here Saturday, he said.
The NPP leaders of all the four northeastern states were present at the meeting.
