Clear stand on CAA, Assam students’ body asks parties
The Hindu
The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has asked all political parties in the poll-bound State to clear their latest position on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
The students’ body has also decided to take out a two-wheeler rally across the State on March 20 to press for the scrapping of the controversial law and drum up support for its anti-CAA campaign. “The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) ignored the Assam Accord and prepared a blueprint to destroy Assam by dumping illegal immigrants on the State. Assam’s indigenous people and AASU had and will continue to resist it,” AASU president Dipanka Kumar Nath said.More Related News
