Furious protests in the northeast, including Assam, against the Citizenship Amendment Act, seem to be halting. But, there are repeated reports of protests and violence in West Bengal. On Saturday, protesters set fire to 25 buses, while three railway stations, five trains, and 20 shops were set on fire. For this reason, 78 trains, including 28 expresses, had to be canceled. On one hand, the Railways have run special trains from Guwahati to evacuate people trapped in the Northeast including Assam. So far, 2400 passengers have been evacuated, while 800 are yet to be evacuated. These 800 people are stranded in Guwahati. Curfew has been relaxed in Guwahati from 9 am to 6 pm. Apart from this, Deputy Commissioner of Dibrugarh Pallava Gopal Jha said on Sunday that curfew in Dibrugarh (Assam) has been relaxed from 7 am to 4 pm today.

During an election rally in Jharkhand on Saturday, Home Minister Shah said that he might consider the issue after Christmas. Shah assured the people of the Northeast that their culture, language, social identity and political rights would not be affected by the act. The Home Minister said, "I want to assure the people of Assam and other states of the Northeast that their culture, social identity, language, political rights will not be touched and the Narendra Modi government will protect them." Shah said Meghalaya Chief Minister Konrad Sangma and his government ministers met him on Friday to discuss the issue. The Home Minister said, "He said that there is a problem in Meghalaya. I tried to convince them that there was no issue. Even after that, he asked me (in-law) to make some changes.

Amit Shah said that I asked Sangma to come to me when I get time after Christmas. We can think creatively to find solutions for Meghalaya. No one has to fear. Home Minister Shah accused the Congress of inciting violence against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. Shah said at election public meetings in Giridih, Baghmara and Deoghar constituencies that the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act was causing stomach ache to the opposition party. He said, 'We have brought the Citizenship Amendment Act and the Congress is beginning to ache. She is inciting violence against him.'

Attacking Rahul Gandhi, Shah said that the former Congress president is simply making noise and he is not aware of India's history and has put 'Italian glasses' on his eyes. He said that even a district president of the youth unit of our party can tell what development works took place in five years of BJP rule in Jharkhand and what Rahul Gandhi's Congress did during its 55 years rule. He said, 'Rahul Gandhi and Hemant Soren say why Kashmir issue is important in Jharkhand elections? The youth of this state are protecting the border of the country. But Rahul Gandhi does not know history, because he has put Italian glasses on his eyes. He also offered prayers at the Vaidyanath Dham temple in Deoghar. The fourth phase of polling in Giridih, Baghmara and Deoghar are scheduled on December 16.
