Assam: AASU launches vigorous protest in Barpeta against CAA introduction

In the wake of the notification of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the Barpeta District Students Union (AASU) staged a robust protest in Barpeta town, vehemently opposing the new legislation.
 
Members of the AASU, leading the demonstration, symbolically expressed their dissent by burning copies of the contentious CAA. The protest aimed to underscore the strong objection of the Barpeta community to what they perceive as an anti-Assam and non-constitutional tax.
 
The Barpeta AASU issued a stern warning, declaring their uncompromising stance against any legislation that undermines the interests and constitutional rights of the people of Assam. They emphasized that the newly introduced CAA would not be accepted under any circumstances.
