GUWAHATI: Protests erupted across Assam on Wednesday against the BJP’s ‘Vision Document’ for Delhi assembly polls in which it described people from the northeastern states as “immigrants”, with the ruling Congress and the opposition Asom Gana Parishad saying the statement had hurt the sentiments of the people.
Even as the BJP termed it as a “clerical error”, the protests continued to rock various places of Assam.
The Congress took out a protest rally with banners and placards to the Kamrup (Metro) district deputy commissioner’s office in Guwahati raising slogans “we from the North East region are Indians and not foreigners”.
The Krishak Mukti Sangram Parishad (KMSS) activists were seen lying down on the main road near Dighalipukhuri here to register their protest.
