'Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad' Reiterates Demand for ILP in Assam

Guwahati, November 27, 2019:

The Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad (AJYCP), an influential youth body of Assam, took to the streets of Guwahati, the state's largest city, to launch a protest against the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. The organization also demanded the Government to implement Inner Line Permit (ILP) in Assam to safeguard the rights of the 'indigenous' people.

Staging a demonstration at the Ambari locality in the city on Wednesday, the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chhatra Parishad protesters yelled slogans against the ruling BJP-Government, and demanded the immediate withdrawal of the controversial Bill.
