Assam CAB protests: Angry mob sets BJP MLA Binod Hazarika’s house on fire, other property of BJP leaders vandalised

Op India  

Protests rage on in Assam for the fourth consecutive day against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2019 which sailed through both the Upper and Lower house and awaits the President’s assent before becoming a law. As the protests swell, an angry mob in Assam’s Chabua district has set BJP MLA Binod Hazarika’s house on fire and went on the rampage torching vehicles and the circle office. The enraged protestors also attacked Assam Police chief Bhaskar Jyoti Mahanta’s convoy on Thursday when he was touring the city. While most Northeastern states are exempt from the Citizenship Amendment Bill due to the Inner Line Permit System and/or the sixth Schedule of the Constitution, Assam, and parts of Tripura, are protected by neither.
