Reiterating the National People's Party's stand on the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma on Tuesday said the NPP will severe ties with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), if the government tabled the Bill in the Rajya Sabha.
"We have to reconsider our ties with the NDA, if the Bill is passed in the Rajya Sabha. We are still hopeful and are talking to various parties that this kind of situation should not happen," Sangma told journalists after a meeting with the North East Students' Organisation (NESO) delegation.
 
Home Minister Rajnath Singh was to present the Bill in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. However, the Deputy Chairman adjourned the House till 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday following uproar by Samajwadi Party (SP) members.
SP members disrupted the proceeding after party chief Akhilesh Yadav was allegedly stopped by the police from boarding a special flight at Lucknow airport on way to Allahabad to attend a function.
