A protest demanding the repeal of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and release of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS) leader Akhil Gogoi was launched by the district committee of Chatra Mukti Sangram Samiti (CMSS) at Abhayapuri in Bongaigaon on Thursday.
The district committee of the organization took to the road in front of Abhayapuri College and staged the protest chanting slogans like ‘BJP Murdabad’, ‘We don’t accept CAA’, ‘Release Akhil Gogoi’, etc.
One among the protester said, “If CAA gets implemented in Assam as many as 1.90 crores Hindu Bangladeshis would get citizenship which will ruin the heritage, culture, language, and identity of Assamese people and that would be a big issue for the people of the state.”
Adding he said, “Akhil Gogoi always raised his voice against any problem facing by the Assamese people and despite that the government kept him in jail since November 2019. And this is the saddest thing for the state. Thus every Assamese should come forward and protest demanding release of the KMSS leader.”
