Guwahati: From the news that has just been received, it has come to know that there is a lot of opposition in the Northeast states against citizen bill. It has been passed after a lot of uproar in the Lok Sabha. In protest, North East Students Organization (NESO) and All Assam Students Union have called a 12-hour Guwahati bandh. Students have also performed nude protest against the bill. Nagaland has been exempted from the bandh due to Hornbill festival. The NESO shutdown has also received support from the opposition Congress, the Left and the AIDUF. At the same time, many left democratic organizations have called for a 12-hour shutdown on Tuesday. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said that she will oppose the divisive bill at any cost and no citizen of the country will be allowed to reduce the status of a refugee.
