Agatha K. Sangma, Lok Sabha MP and National People’s Party candidate for Tura, reiterated her support for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Parliament, emphasizing that Meghalaya’s exemption from its provisions was the reason for her stance. Sangma clarified that she would not have supported the bill if it included Garo Hills. She highlighted the advocacy efforts of Meghalaya’s leaders, including her brother and Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma, which led to the state’s exemption from the CAA. Meanwhile, the NPP distanced itself from a cash seizure incident in Arunachal Pradesh, with Conrad K. Sangma dismissing it as baseless and unrelated to the party.
