North East Students’ Organisation (NESO) has announced that black flags and black banners would be displayed at all important places in all the seven North Eastern states on December 11 as part of the observation of Black Day.
NESO chairman Samuel B Jyrwa and secretary general Mutsikhoyo Yhobu in a press release stated that the black day was being observed to give a message to the central government that the people of North East were against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, and also to remind the people and their posterity of yet another political injustice that the central government had perpetrated against the indigenous people of the region.
Hence, they called upon all the people of the Northeast to support and, at the same time, keep fighting for the just cause which was God-given right.
NESO recalled that on December 11, 2019, despite the relentless opposition of the indigenous people of the Northeast against CAA Bill, the Centre did not pay any heed and ensured the passage of the draconian law in Parliament, known as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019. NESO had then declared that December 11 would always be observed as a black day in the entire Northeast.
