Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) and 17 other organizations took out an anti-CAA protest rally in upper Assam’s Sivasagar district where thousands of people took part in the protest rally and shouted slogans against BJP-led both centre and state government and demanded to scrap the new citizenship act.

AIUDF chief and Lok Sabha MP Badruddin Ajmal said that, his party will continue agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 till 2021 Assam assembly polls.

“BJP will do anything for votes. If the demography of any state is also changed, then it does not matter to them. This CAA will be a big threat to the Assamese language and we can’t accept it. The Assamese language is our mother language and we will protect it. We will not compromise anymore. We will not surrender before the BJP-led central government and our agitation will be continued,” Badruddin Ajmal said.  

AIUDF on Saturday provided financial assistance of Rs 50,000 to each family of five youths who were killed during anti-CAA protests in Assam in December last year.
