GUWAHATI: The Krishak Sangram Samiti (KMSS) launched a massive programme-'Raj Bhawan Gherao' against the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB).
According to reports, hundreds of people gathered at the Guwahati Club area from where the said programme started.
The Farmers' body leader Akhil Gogoi said that the body will not accept the Bill at any cost, and condemned the Government for its intention to impose the same.
Speaking in the programme, Gogoi alleged that the enactment of the Bill could open the gates to over 1.7 crore Bangladeshi nationals to enter the Indian Union and claim citizenship.
"Whether Hindu, Muslim or Christian, we do not want any foreigners. We don’t want CAB," said Akhil Gogoi.
Earlier, on November 21, the All Assam Students' Union staged torchlight rallies to mark their opposition to the proposed Citizenship (Amendment) Bill.
