The police in Assam on Friday resorted to baton-charging All Assam Students’ Union activists, who took out a rally in Tezpur to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act, reported NDTV.
The police also detained several activists of the union from across the state. AASU has condemned the police crackdown and announced a shutdown in the Sonitpur district on Saturday.
The activists were protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act by holding torch rallies. The students’ body had called for a three-day protest in the state against the CAA ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s and Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s visits to Assam over this weekend.
