After the North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) called for large scale demonstrations, Assam is all set to see massive protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) on Wednesday.
Not only in Assam, but all the northeastern states will witness massive demonstrations, reports stated.
Meanwhile, apart from demands to repeal the controversial CAA, the students’ organization will also hold protests against the draconian Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) that has been imposed in several states of the northeast.
It may be noted that NESO had called for massive protests across the Northeast state headquarters on Tuesday.
Member organisations of NESO will hold protests in all the state headquarters starting today. The protest will also be held in order to draw attention to concerns prevailing in different regions of the north-eastern states.
Addressing the media, All Assam Students' Union (AASU) chief advisor, Samujjal Bhattacharya had said that the government has to give the people a permanent solution to the illegal immigrant issues
He said, "NESO is going to stage a peaceful protest at all its state headquarters tomorrow. The aim of the protest is to fulfill their demands by curbing the various socio-political issues that are still prevailing in the North-Eastern states."
The senior AASU leader further said that if there is no solution, even Assam might have to face the fate where the primary or the state language turns out to be secondary which was “seen in Tripura”.
