All Assam Students' Union (AASU) Chief Advisor Samujjal Bhattacharya has condemned the Government for the arrest of prominent RTI activist and peasant leader, Akhil Gogoi.

Speaking to mediapersons here today, Samujjal said, "We saw that he (Akhil) was tied up and taken to Court. Nobody has the right to abuse someone like that. That is indeed condemnable."

The ‘Gana Satyagraha’ of the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has entered its 3rd day and the leaders of the students’ Union have once again started leading the people in spirit, song, and ritual. With thousands upon thousands continuing the sustained and widespread protests against the Bill-turned-Act

“People are out in droves…women’s organizations are here…people from all communities are here”, said Samujjal Bhattacharya.

The student leader further informed that the lakhs of people who have come here have a single demand: the stalling of the C(A)A by the Supreme Court, and its eventual scrapping.
