The Lakhimpur district unit of All Assam Students’ Union took out a massive protest march in North Lakhimpur on Thursday against rising price of fuel and food commodities in the state.
The student body shouted slogans against the state government saying that it had completely ignored the concerns of the common people who had voted them to power for a change.
The protesting students also shouted slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi by calling him a liar and came down heavily against Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal.

Later the AASU leaders submitted a memorandum for the Chief Minister through the Deputy Commissioner of Lakhimpur. Lakhimpur AASU also organized similar protest march at Dhakuwakhona.
