The Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) burnt the effigies of the prime minister and the home minister in Lakhimpur and Dibrugarh. Shouting slogans against the CAA, the supporters of AASU and 30 non-political indigenous organisations took out torchlight processions across the state in the evening. The AASU, led by its Advisor Samujjal Bhattacharjya, organised a march near the high court and Raj Bhavan in Guwahati. AASU leaders went to New Delhi to pursue a petition against the Act in the Supreme Court and returned to take part in the procession in the evening.
Alongside the street protest, considerable citizen outrage was noted on social media while political parties, student activists and academics across the state also expressed their shock and indignation at such a move by the Union government.
