Assam students oppose citizenship to Pak, B’desh minorities
The All Assam Students Union (AASU), the largest student body in the state, has opposed the Centre’s proposal to grant citizenship to minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. “A foreigner is a foreigner...Assam people have never thought about dividing foreigners on the basis of religion,” AASU stated. The students’ body threatened to launch a mass movement against it.
