North- East bandh called by NESO on Jan 8

Guwahat, January 5, 2019:

The North east Students’ organization (NESO) has called for 11 hours North East bandh on January 8 opposing the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.

Making a clear stand that the north-east’s biggest students’ organization will never accept the Bill as this move of the government is an imposition on the sentiments of the indigenous people of North East and is very dangerous as it will reduce the indigenous people of the North East to a minority.

In its statement, NESO has warned the Government of India not to play with the future of the indigenous people of North East for their vote politics.

NESO also urged the people of North East to co-operate with them to send a clear message to the government that North East is not a dumping ground of illegal migrants.
