MARGHERITA, March 14: Activists of Margherita Regional Student Union on Thursday hoisted a black flag at NH 315 Block Tiniali Margherita against the BJP-led government, which has notified the rules for implementation of Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Margherita Police interrupted the activists of Margherita Regional Student Union who had hoisted the black flag. Activists of Margherita Regional Student Union shouted various slogans.
Rupam Baruah, literary secretary of Tinsukia District Student Union, said that it is very unfortunate that the government, both at the Union and state levels, which promised to safeguard the ‘Jati, Mati, and Bheti’ of Assam and Assamese people, have failed in every sphere, which will completely ruin the art, culture, language, religion, and tradition of greater Assamese society. Rupam Baruah said that Assam and Assamese people shall never accept the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) at any cost. All Assam Student Union (AASU) and other indigenous organisations of Assam shall fight against the BJP-led government until CAA is canceled by hook or crook, said Rupam Baruah.
