Assam Election: BJP wants to destroy Anti-CAA protests in Assam, says Congress

The Assam Congress has slammed heavily on Union Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks that there were no protests in the State in the last five years.

According to the Assam Congress, Amit Shah “wants to simply obliterate the anti-CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) uprising that happened in Assam”.

“He (Amit Shah) wants to deny the existence of those young boys like Sam Stafford and Dipanjol who lost their lives in police firing by Sonowal police force,” the Assam Congress said.

“What can be more unfortunate for the people of Assam than this? None of the BJP leaders had the time nor the empathy to visit the family of anti-CAA movement martyrs,” Assam Congress added.

The Assam Congress further added that the BJP is disoriented on CAA.

“While the BJP has been vocal on CAA for long, the silence of the BJP leaders of Assam proves that they are completely disoriented,” said Assam Congress.

“The dual nature of the BJP has been exposed on the issue of CAA,” Assam Congress added.
