The North East Students’ Organization (NESO) on December 9 said that December 11 will always be remembered as a Black Day for the whole of the North East as a reminder of the passage of the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019.
In a statement issued, the NESO stated that it would like to remind the people of the whole of North East that on December 11, 2019, the government of India passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 despite the relentless opposition of the indigenous peoples of the North East against it.
In continuation of the observation of Black Day, NESO will display black flags and black banners at all the important places of all the seven states.
“This observation is to give a message to the Government of India that we are against this Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 and also at the same time to remind our people and our posterior of yet another political injustice that the Government of India perpetrated on the indigenous peoples of the North East,” NESO stated.
NESO called upon all the people of the North East to support this observation and at the same time to keep on fighting for the just cause of God-given right.
