TEZPUR: A sit-in protest was organized on Tuesday in front of the Tezpur Court Chariali by members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), under the initiative of the Sonitpur district committee and in response to a state-wide call by the CPI (M) Assam state committee.

The protest highlighted several pressing issues. The party demanded an immediate halt to all eviction drives being carried out without providing proper alternative rehabilitation for the displaced. They also called for a thorough investigation into the various scams allegedly involving BJP ministers and legislators, including the widely reported Geer-Gai scam.

Additionally, the CPI (M) condemned the continued harassment of minority communities under the pretext of foreigner detection. The party urged the government to stop such actions and demanded the early publication and official notification of the National Register of Citizens (NRC), which has remained pending for a long time.

The protest saw the participation of local party leaders and activists, who asserted that these issues are central to justice and democratic rights in the state.
