“Let me clarify one thing to all those who are wary of me - My fight is against the citizenship amendment bill and not any individual . On the 27th of January we will have a protest rally at Baijal-bari, Khowai 1230 pm and I will personally take part in the programme .This is not a political programme but a programme to create awareness amongst us what dangers lie ahead if the bills passed at the Rajya Sabha .I urge all of you to call your friends, mothers,sisters,brothers,fathers in the area and tell them what this is about and come out in numbers to support our struggle . I hope for your support”.
