Right now, it’s blocked in four different states: Kashmir, Assam, Tripura & Arunachal.
We all know what fascist governments do in the dark. Don’t be a bystander; speak now & speak loudly.

Assam is burning, like Kashmir. These modern Neros are fiddling while the country burns. Hanumanji had only set Lanka on fire. These modern Hanumanjis will set the whole of India on fire. 🔥🔥

Violence erupted all across Assam as a result of the bill finding majority in the Rajya Sabha.
The anger against the CAB move had been brewing over a week, affecting normal life and local businesses in Assam/Tripura.
