Assam, a state rich in history and culture, is no stranger to civil unrest and protests rooted in deep-seated issues of identity, governance, and development.
Ramachandra Guha who was detained by the police during the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act on Thursday termed the Act ‘immoral’ and ‘against the spirit of the Constitution’.
Guha also said that a wise and just government would withdraw the Act.
Taking it to Twitter, Guha said, “To make two things absolutely clear. 1. The immediate withdrawal of the NRC is a necessary first step to restore trust and heal the nation. 2. The CAA is immoral and against the spirit of the Constitution. A wise and just Government would withdraw it too.”
