In his reply, PRISM's president, Vanlalruata, in a letter to additional chief electoral officer said, "Government of India is trying to legalise Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, which clearly divides Indian people, especially Northeast people but it is pending in the Rajya Sabha. President of BJP, Amit Shah earlier said if his party wins the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the bill will be re-introduced and we think that this is against unity and integrity of India and we strongly oppose it. So our party decided to introduce a Right to Secession Bill if the Citizenship Bill is re-introduced."
