GUWAHATI
A day after Union Minister Kiren Rijiju indicated otherwise, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on April 23 said there were no plans to relocate the Chakma and Hajong refugees from Arunachal Pradesh to Assam.
Mr. Rijiju, the BJP’s candidate from the Arunachal West constituency, told journalists on Monday that talks have been initiated with Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Dr. Sarma on the resettlement of Chakmas as Arunachal Pradesh has been kept out of the ambit of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act of 2019.
