Protests erupt in Assam over Centre’s order allowing entry of minorities from neighbouring countries without passports till Dec 2024

Assam is witnessing widespread protests against the Centre’s decision to allow undocumented individuals from six minority communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan to stay in India until December 2024. The All Assam Students’ Union (Aasu) views the order as a threat to the indigenous population and an extension of the CAA cut-off date.
