Assam: Nagaon Bengali youth body demands withdrawal of ‘D’ voter cases, repeal of CAA

The Nagaon District Committee of the All Assam Bengali Youth Students’ Federation staged a late-night protest in Kaliabor’s Ambagan, voicing sharp opposition to the BJP government.

Hundreds of participants joined a massive torchlight procession demanding the withdrawal of “D” voter cases against Hindu Bengalis, the granting of citizenship rights, and the repeal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The march began from the Federation’s office at Ambagan and proceeded to Amar Chari Ali, with protesters chanting slogans and filling the night streets with resounding calls for justice.

In a strong warning, the Nagaon District Committee declared that failure to address their demands promptly would invite a decisive response in the 2026 elections.

The Federation further asserted that the BJP government in Assam owes its existence to the support of Hindu Bengali voters. Leaders claimed that without the overwhelming backing of the community—who they said cast “100 percent” of their votes for the BJP in previous elections—the party could not have formed the state government. They cautioned that if their concerns remain unaddressed, the community would no longer extend its political support in the upcoming polls.
