Assam Congress takes out ‘Janajagaran’ rally in Nalbari

Terming the Citizenship (Amendment) Act asunconstitutional and communal, Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) on Thursdaytook out a protest rally titled 'Janajagaran Padayatra' (Mass awareness footmarch) against the Act in Nalbari.

"This Act is against our Constitution, basic principlesof secularism. Today, every section of people come out to the streets and arefighting for their existence. It has violated the Assam Accord," said HarishRawat.

"The CAA will destroy the Assamese identity," said Assam Congress president Ripun Bora, adding, "The Centre does not want to implement Clause VI of Assam Accord, hence they have not received the report of the panel constituted by them."
