  • The NDPP also asked, “What was the then chief minister T.R. Zeliang doing when the proposed citizenship bill was being formulated in Parliament in 2016?
  • The NPF said it was Rio’s bounden duty as the MP from the NPF party representing Nagaland, the voice of the Naga people since the said Bill was referred to the JPC which took over a year.
  • The NPF alleged he (Rio) failed to do this because he was ignorant of what was going on in the Parliament.
