By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, Oct 17: Over 50 members of the Axom Chatra-Yuva Sanmilan (ACYS) staged a sit-in demonstration in the city today in support of their demand for cancellation of the Centre’ Citizenship Act Amendment Bill, 2016.
Leaders of the ACYS said that by bringing an amendment to the Bill the Centre and the Assam Government were hatching a conspiracy to deal a blow to the existence of the Assamese in the State. They said that under no circumstances Assam would be allowed to be the grazing ground of foreigners. They sent a memorandum to the President of India in this connection today through the Kamrup(M) Deputy Commissioner.
