Citizenship order worries Assam

Anti-CAA groups in the northeast, led by the All Assam Students’ Union (Aasu), on Saturday bristled at the Centre’s move to empower collectors in 13 districts across five states to grant citizenship to applicants from minority communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan, reports Kangkan Kalita.
“...a similar order won’t be allowed to be implemented in Assam, where the Assam Accord is there to settle the foreigner issue,” Aasu president Dipanka Kumar Nath said, warning of fresh agitation.
