An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on Richter Scale hit Manipur on Monday evening.

The earthquake hit the northeast region 15 km West of Moirang at 20:12 hours, said National Center for Seismology.

The tremors of the earthquake were also felt in Guwahati and other parts of Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram.

Sarma said that it is a kind of appeasement politics towards the Muslim society which Congress leaders are indulging for long.

With just one parliamentary seat at stake, Mizoram is scheduled to vote on April 19.

"There is no such thing as CAA; To date, only one person from Barak Valley has filed for citizenship under CAA,” Sarma clarified.
