Guwahati, 16 January 2019:

Assam Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Dispur has continued his persistent stand against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 amid the party going all out to implement the Bill at any cost.

The MLA on Wednesday said that he will continue to oppose the Bill and support people of Assam in its fight to scrap the Bill. He further assured that he will not take a u-turn on what he said and what he believes as stir continues to intensify in Assam over the Bill.

Atul Bora has been vocal against the Bill since its inception and has come out in open and in public to speak against it and the threats it possesses to the Assamese culture, community and the language.

Recently, Assam BJP legislators Rituparna Baruah, Padma Hazarika and Debananda Hazarika have also expressed their disagreement to the Bill.
