The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) along with 30 tribal organisations is set to conduct an anti-CAA protest on March 10. Previously scheduled to happen on March 9 the decision to postpone the date for the anti-CAA protest was a sign of respect towards the All Tai Ahom Students’ Union and the Tai Ahom Youth Council’s request to commemorate the unveiling of the highest statue of Lachit Borphukan. A 12-hour hunger strike will be conducted at each district headquarters from 6 am to 6 pm on March 10.
The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) planned a large-scale bike rally throughout the state to protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Hundreds of AASU members participated in protest bike rallies in Dibrugarh, Kokrajhar, and numerous other state districts, calling for the repeal of the controversial Act. Based on the proposed schedule, AASU is ready to launch the resistance with protests, which would include honouring the five martyrs on March 8 and burning symbolic copies of the CAA guidelines.
