All Assam Students' Union (AASU) along with 30 indigenous organisations are taking part in the 'Bajra Ninad' protest rally against the Citizenship Amendment Bill.

Renowned singer Zubeen Garg is also expected to take part in the rally.

Citizens taking part in the rally are using slogans like "Himanta Biswa Go Back", "Ei Jui Jolise, Joliboi", "We Want Justice", "No Justice No Rest" to protest against the bill. They have strongly condemned Assam Govt's support towards the bill, and have termed Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal as 'jaatir khalnayak'.

Students from Cotton University while protesting said "We will never allow the bill to come to power. We will continue all sort of protests until the bill is scrapped."

Citizens from different parts of Assam, like Nalbari and Jorhat have joined the rally and have written messages like "Joi Aai Axom" to protest against the bill.
