To secure indigenous people’s rights women activists stage protest by shaving off head in Guwahati

Guwahati, Sept 1 (IBNS): Unhappy with the Assam state government’s role to protect indigenous people in the state, women protesters on Friday staged a protest against the state government by shaving off their head and demanding security.

Three activists of Swadhin Nari Shakti (SNS) protested against the state government's role by shaving off their head.

Over 100 members of the women organization had a protest at Digholipukhuripar in Guwahati.

“We have strongly opposed the government's decision to provide Indian citizenship to the Hindu Bangladeshi people. We expected that the present BJP-led state government would do everything in greater interest of the indigenous people. But they didn’t. In past year, all government decisions went against the indigenous people,” a leader of the women organization said.

On the other hand, the activists of Asom Khilongia (Indigenous) Manch also staged a protest in front of the Raj Bhawan in Guwahati on Friday and demanded to secure land rights of indigenous people in the state.

Pro-talk ULFA leader Anup Chetia also took part in the agitation programme.
