Guwahati, Jan 10 (IBNS): Protests against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016, continued on Thursday in Assam with students, farmers, artists of the state raising their voices against the bill.

In Guwahati, protesters of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) and other organisations staged protest outside the Assam secretariat.

With 'gamosas' (Assamese scarf of honour) in hand, the protesters observed ‘Sankalpa Divas’ and shouted slogans against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), RSS.

The protesters warned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union cabinet ministers and BJP leaders will not be allowed to visit Assam if their interests are harmed.

On the other hand, students of many colleges in the state took out protest rallies across the state against the bill.

The students burnt effigies of PM Narendra Modi, Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and the Citizenship Bill at Biswanath Chariali.

The artists of the state have also staged protest against the bill in various parts of the state.
