The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) on Wednesday evening replied to renowned social activist Medha Patkar on her allegation of AASU's protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as a government agitation and said that the protest against the anti-Assam act will continue.

Speaking to Pratidin Time, AASU advisor SamujjalKumar Bhattacharya said, "We have protested against CAA in every nook andcorner of the State. And we will continue our stir against the act."
