Relaunch of protests after two years to coincide with the death of Khargeswar Talukdar, the first “martyr” of the 1979-85 agitation
The anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act protests in Assam is set to be relaunched with a touch of the agitation against “illegal migrants” 40 years ago.
The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), a year-old regional party with its roots in the anti-CAA protests, has announced a 10-day agitation coinciding with the Swahid Diwas, or the Martyrs’ Day, on December 10.
The day is marked in honour of Khargeswar Talukdar, the first of 855 people who were killed during the anti-foreigner Assam Agitation from 1979-85.
