The Congress on Wednesday said that the admission by the Assam’s police brass that the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016 was spurring the youth to take up arms proved the BJP government’s failure to protect the state’s interest.
Director General (Special Branch) of Assam Police and the Superintendent of Police, Tinsukia, and other senior police officials recently said that the resentment against the Bill has driven some youngsters of the Brahmaputra Valley to join the anti-talk United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) faction led by Paresh Baruah.
