Assam Bandh against citizenship bill evokes widespread response 

GUWAHATI: The 12-hour Assam Bandh called by 46 organisations against the citizenship bill evoked a widespread response in the state on Tuesday with markets and financial institutions closed.

Though BJP-led Assam government's alliance partner Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) was not in support of the Bandh, it took out a massive rally to protest against the bill. It was led by party president and agriculture minister Atul Bora from Latasil Field to Chandmari area in Guwahati.
