The AJYCP Protestors ranging in hundreds demanded repeal of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) and immediate implementation of the Inner Line Permit (ILP) system in Assam.

In a statement issued on Friday, NESO chairman Samuel B Jyrwa said the organization would like to remind the people of the whole of North East that on the 11th December 2019, despite the relentless opposition of the indigenous peoples of the North East against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019, the Government of India did not pay heed and it finally through the Rajya Sabha passed the ‘Draconian Law’ which is known as Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019
