Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Saturday make a whirlwind tour of the northeastern states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and Tripura during which he will lay the foundation stone of the new Greenfield airport and Sela tunnel, launch the DD Arun Prabha channel and will unveil various other development projects. As Narendra Modi starts a whirlwind tour to the North East India, in what is being deemed a pre-election visit, reports suggest that the prime minister might witness embarrassing protests on the way against his government’s move to bring the Citizenship Bill. Protests in Assam over Modi’s visit The All Assam Students Union members shouted slogans against the contentious Citizenship Bill and waved black flags at the prime minister as he arrived in Guwahati on Friday. In a signed joint press statement issued by the only Lok Sabha MPs from the state, Jitendra Chowdhury, Shankar Prasad Datta and Rajya Sabha MP Jharna Das Baidya said “We the three MPs of Tripura have taken a conscious decision to boycott the functions at Agartala to be attended by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi tomorrow on 9 February, 2019.” If the Citizenship Bill is enacted in Parliament, it would grossly harm the cause of the North East region in the long run and harm the secular fabric of the country.
