Assam: Those opposing CAA should go to Supreme Court, says Himanta Biswa Sarma

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma while speaking on the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the state said that there are many in Assam who oppose the idea behind CAA and hence one should not criticise anyone for supporting or critizing CAA. 

Speaking to the media, the chief minister of Assam said, "I support CAA. But at the same time, many people in Assam oppose it. We have to accommodate both points of view. We should not criticise anyone for supporting or criticizing CAA. Those who are opposing CAA should go to the Supreme Court, instead of disturbing peace and tranquillity in Assam."

Meanwhile, All Assam Students Union (AASU) and 30 organisations jointly have declared a series of statewide agitational programs from March 4 to protest against the implementation of CAA in the state. 

A bike rally will be held in every district on 4th March as per the program.

Addressing a press meeting, the chief advisor of AASU, Samujjal Bhattacharya said that AASU along with 30 tribal organisations have decided and reaffirmed its stand on illegal Bangladeshi and to protect the indigenous people of the state and also voice out against the implementation of CAA.

Further Bhattacharya also warned the state and the central government not to play with the future of the indigenous people of the state.

Bhattacharya claimed that the CAA was only passed due to the number of votes in the Rajya Sabha or else it was not possible, however, the people of the northeast strongly rejected the same following which protests are still going on in the entire northeast along with legal battles.
