A BJP legislator in Meghalaya on Thursday threatened to quit the party if the Centre did not exempt Meghalaya and other Northeast states from the purview of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
The saffron party is a part of the ruling dispensation in the hill state, led by the National People's Party (NPP).
Sanbor Shullai, one of the two BJP MLAs in the state, said, "I will submit a one-month ultimatum to the NDA government to exempt Meghalaya and other states in the northeast from the purview of the Citizenship Bill."
