The All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) launched a powerful 11-hour hunger strike across Assam on Wednesday, protesting the Central Government’s immigration policies, which they argue endanger the state’s indigenous identity through unchecked demographic shifts. The strike, which began at 6 AM, saw widespread participation at district headquarters statewide, with the epicenter at Dighalipukhuripar in Guwahati.

AASU leaders, led by president Utpal Sharma, voiced their frustration with the government’s approach, accusing it of neglecting Assam’s native communities. “The Centre’s policies are eroding our cultural and ethnic fabric,” Sharma declared. He demanded the immediate deportation of all illegal immigrants, irrespective of their religious background, and the full implementation of the Assam Accord to safeguard the state’s identity.

The protests also called for stronger border security measures and the exemption of Assam from the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Sharma emphasized, “We reject any division of immigrants based on religion. Assam’s interests must come first.” The union criticized the government for what they described as selective exemptions, noting that while certain northeastern states and eight districts in Assam benefit from specific policy relaxations, the rest of the state faces the consequences of unregulated migration.

Sharma also referenced the recent recognition of five anti-CAA protesters as martyrs, questioning the government’s commitment. “What was the point of their sacrifice if we continue to grant citizenship to foreigners without addressing Assam’s concerns?” he asked. The AASU further demanded the repeal of the Immigration and Foreigners Act 2025, arguing that Assam’s unique border challenges require customized legislative measures.

The hunger strike, marked by strong public support, underscores escalating tensions over immigration and demographic changes in the state. AASU has pledged to intensify its agitation until the government takes concrete steps to protect Assam’s indigenous heritage and address the union’s demands.
