“The people in Delhi are dividing the country, especially the Northeast, said the former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Gegong Apang. He was addressing the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “United India” Rally at Kolkata on Saturday.

The Citizenship Amendment Bill is an example how a political party is dividing the country,” Apang, who was the longest-serving Chief Minister of Arunachal, said.

Apang, who left the BJP after a four-year association earlier this week, said that it is “testing time” for India’s democracy.

He added that all previous governments at the Centre believed in federal democracy but the current regime is busy dividing the country.

“I have been fortunate enough to work under Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, PV Narsimha Rao, HD Deve Gowdaji, who is present here, Atal Bihari Vajpayee. All those people believed in federal democracy. But the last four years have been testing time for Indian democracy,” Apang said.

Claiming that the democracy in Arunachal Pradesh was going through “the worst phase” Apang said the ruling BJP government has refused to start a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the suicide of former Chief Minister Kalikho Pul.

In Arunachal Pradesh democracy is going through the worst phase. A former chief minister of my state has committed suicide while another minister has suffered a mysterious death.

But the party in power in Arunachal does not want a CBI inquiry. The CBI has become a puppet in their hands.

We all know how democratically-elected governments are being tortured by those sitting in power. It is a threat to the country’s democratic ethos.  he added.”,
