Government Vs Congress on Assam

Congress tweet: Brother’s and Sister’s of Assam can’t read your message
PM Modi tweet: Assamese rights won’t be taken away
Congress tweet: You have forgotten that the internet had been cut off
Why North-East is opposing CAB: Fear losing land, livelihood to migrants. Fear impact on Demography, indigenous culture. Assam bearing burden of Bangladeshi settlers. Section of Assam fears Bengalis will take over. Tribal enclaves in North-East also wary of outsiders.
