Widespread protests have been witnessed across the nation following the government’s implementation of the controversial CAA.
Around 25 deaths were reported in the agitation against the Act, which provides citizenship to non-Muslims from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
People of the Northeast and more so in Assam have been spearheading the agitation as it had been facing the issue of illegal Bangladeshi migrants since decades.
Protests have continued despite the release of the official notification implementing the CAA.
