Shillong, Sept 22: The Centre is likely to table the proposed amendment of the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India in the Parliament in December.

This was informed by the Convener of the 10 autonomous district councils (ADCs) from the North East and KHADC chief, Pyniaid Sing Syiem, after a meeting held with the Adviser to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), AK Mishra, in Delhi on Saturday.

“After the meeting, we can understand clearly that the government of India will table the 125th constitutional amendment which includes the Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India before the Parliament in December, this year,”Syiem said on Sunday.

“We thanked the MHA for taking the views of all ten ADCs,” he said while adding “We have made it clear that we will not compromise with our demands especially with regards to the customs, traditions and customary practices.
