Second anniversary of the controversial Act observed as ‘black day’
The northeast on Saturday saw the return of the protests against the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act after almost two years.
The North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), an umbrella body of the State-based students’ groups, observed the second anniversary of the Act as a “black day” on Saturday while the Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP), formed after anti-CAA protests in September 2020, burnt copies of the Act.
The passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill by Rajya Sabha on December 11, 2019, had triggered widespread protests across the northeast, the most violent of which were in Assam and claimed at least five lives.
