Cong will never let CAA be implemented in Assam: Rahul Gandhi

TIL Desk/National/Guwahati/ Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) of dividing Assam, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday said his party will protect every principle of the Assam Accord and will not let the Citizenship (Amendment) Act be implemented if voted to power in the upcoming assembly polls.

Sounding the Congress’ poll bugle in the state, Gandhi attacked the Modi government repeatedly alleging that it was working with an approach of ‘Hum do, Hamare do’ — a term he recently used while speaking in Lok Sabha to claim that the country is being run by only four people.

At his first public rally in Assam ahead of the assembly elections due in the next few months, Gandhi along with all the senior leaders on the dais wore a ‘Gamosa’ (Assamese scarf) on which symbolically the word CAA was crossed out, making it clear that Congress’ opposition to the controversial law will be a major poll plank.
