Opposition parties in Assam on Thursday sought the intervention of President Droupadi Murmu for repealing the CAA, asserting that they would undertake a “democratic mass movement” across the state if their demand is not met.
The 16-party United Opposition Forum Assam (UOFA) submitted a memorandum to Murmu through Governor Gulab Chand Kataria.
“This act is not only unconstitutional, but it is also going to nullify the historic Assam Accord of 1985 by putting in danger the history, culture, social fabric, economy and the very identity of the Assamese people,” they said.
