Guwahati, 17/10: The Supreme Court’s judgment upholding constitutional validity of the Section 6A of the Citizenship Act prompted several organisations in Assam to reiterate their demand for scrapping the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) 2019 as the latter extended the cut-off-date for Indian citizenship to 2014.
The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) said that SC’s judgement cleared the decks for implementation of the Assam Accord and all foreigners must be detected with March 24, 1971 as the cut-off date, as agreed in the accord.
