All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has called an 11-hour strike on January 8 in Assam in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, reports The Telegraph.

Mizoram Chief Minister (CM) Zoramthanga on January 7 said the state government is strongly against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016, and extended support to the region wide shutdown, reports The Telegraph. He stated that ‘We extend support to Northeast Students Organisation (NESO) and its members including the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP) for calling a 12-hour strike in the Northeast on Tuesday to protest against the Centre decision to get the bill passed in Parliament.’ Addressing an inaugural programme of the party office, he stated that the CM stated that MNF had been opposing the bill from the very beginning. He said the bill is an attempt to make illegal migrants eligible for Indian citizenship on the basis of religion. The Young Mizo Association (YMA), Mizoram’s largest civil society organisation, also extended support to the MZP on the statewide total shutdown.

In Assam’s Golaghat and Dibrugarh districts, protesters attempted to vandalise BJP offices, leading to the arrest of 14 persons in Dibrugarh and four in Golaghat, reports Indian Express on January 8. The strike was total in Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland and Manipur with stray incidents of violence reported from Shillong and Imphal, reports The Telegraph. In Shillong (Meghalaya) , miscreants damaged a few vehicles. Attendance in government offices was very poor. In Manipur, AMSU supporters blocked roads at several places. Police picked up seven of them from Imphal East and Imphal West districts. Four of them were later released. In Aizawl, protesters led by MZP burnt copies of the bill. Mizoram education minister LalchhandamaRalte, who was present at the protest site, said the state government would not accept the bill. In Nagaland, NSF president Kesosul Christopher Ltu said the bandh was total and peaceful. He said district administrations and the public extended full cooperation. Additionally, the shutdown evoked partial response in the Barak Valley districts of Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi in south Assam where various organisations have been supporting the bill. Stray incidents of picketing were reported in the valley and several persons were detained. In Silchar, headquarters of Cachar district, commercial establishments remained open and traffic was normal. At Madhurapul there, a few organisations staged a protest opposing the bill but security officials brought the situation under control. In Karimganj, about 60 picketers were detained for trying to stage a blockade at Karimganj railway station. In Hailakandi, traffic was comparatively less. Two AIUDF legislators, Suzam Uddin Laskar and Anwar Hussain Laskar, courted detention with over 200 picketers by staging a blockade on NH 154.

In Tripura, six TSF supporters were injured at Madhav Bari in Jirania (West Tripura District), around 15km from Agartala, when police and the Tripura State Rifles resorted to a baton charge and fired in the air to disperse TSF activists who blocked National Highway 8. “Six persons were injured. Some of them sustained bullet injuries. A TSR jawan was also injured. The injured have been admitted to GB Pant Hospital in Agartala,” an officer in Tripura state police control room said. Jirania Sub-Divisional Police officer Pran Krishna Das said the activists set eight shops on fire and threw bottles and stones at the police. Indian Express further adds that the Tripura Government suspended SMS and mobile internet services for the next 48 hours in the wake of violence. A notification by Additional Home Secretary Saradindu Choudhury stated that ‘it has been reported by the Director General of Police, Tripura that incidents of rioting and arsoning in some areas in Jirania police station in some areas of West Tripura district and the photographs of such incidents are being uploaded in the social media which may likely to generate serious law and order situation in the entire state having potential threat to public safety’. he notification further said that social media platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter, YouTube and the likes are likely to be used for rumour mongering due to which SMS services and mobile internet or data services of all service providers were suspended for 48 hours starting from 3 pm on January 8. The notification also said the restrictions would be applicable to press messages as well. Assam Tribune further adds that Section 144 has been imposed in the entire Madhavbari area and the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) headquarters. A large number of security forces, including CAPFs, have been deployed and senior police officials, including the ADGP, the DIG and the SP (West), are now camping in the area.

Naga Students’ Federation (NSF), as a constituent of North East Students’ Organisation (NESO), has extended support to the umbrella students’ platform-sponsored shutdown on January 8 (today), reports Nagaland Post. In a statement issued by its president Kesosul Christopher Ltu and general secretary ImtiyapangImsong, NSF announced that it would impose the bandh within its jurisdiction from 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. to show its deepest resentment against announcement to table the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 in the Parliament. Heeding to the call of NSF, Chakhesang Students’ Union (CSU) has extended support to NESO shutdown. CSU appealed to the district administration, law enforcing agencies, business establishments and all school and colleges to remain closed that day as the Bill posed a threat to rights of indigenous people. NESO the umbrella student body representing all the states — has also called for the bandh across seven northeastern states, which is being supported by the AGP, the Congress and 30 other ethnic organisations from Assam, reports Indian Express on January 8. The main grouse of the opposers is that they fear the Bill — which seeks to amend the Citizenship Act 1955 by granting citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Christians and Parsis from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan — will destroy Assam, which has been grappling with the issue of ‘illegal immigration’ for decades now. The Bill effectively allows anyone belonging to the above-mentioned groups to seek citizenship in India, as long as they have entered Indian before December 31, 2014. The opposers also feel this contradicts the ongoing update of the National Registry of Citizens (NRC) which takes into consideration March 24, 1971, as the cut-off date for citizenship in Assam. In May 2018, a Joint Parliamentary Committee was sent to Assam to take stock of the opposition and support to the Bill.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) have claimed responsibility for the May 1 blast, set off by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), in Kurkheda Tehsil (revenue unit) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra that had killed 15 Security Force (SF) personnel and their driver, reports The Indian Express on May 18. A pamphlet, issued by western sub-zonal bureau of CPI-Maoist recently, claimed that the blast was carried out to avenge the “police atrocities” in last year’s Kasnasur ambush in which 40 Maoist cadres were killed in the incident. It also referred to the April 27 “fake” encounter of senior Maoist cadre Ramco Narote. Narote, a member of Gadchiroli’s divisional committee of CPI-Maoist, and her accomplice Shilpa Durva were killed in what the Police claimed to be a regular encounter near Gundurwahi village in Bhamragarh tehsil. The pamphlet also said that the government has put many “pro-people” and “intellectual leaders” in jail in the name of “urban Naxalism”. “The Brahminical, fascist government, led by Devendra Fadnavis, is milking Gadchiroli’s natural resources, like iron ore, after coming to power. When people oppose it, the police oppress them. Officials and police are creating hurdles in the way of tribals taking benefit of the PESA provisions,” the pamphlet reads. It adds “we will continue to oppose them tooth and nail”. The pamphlet also called upon people to observe a bandh (general shutdown strike) on May 19 called by the Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs] to protest against the April 27 encounter.

Around a dozen alleged Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, in civil attire, visited Gurupalli village under Etapallitaluka (revenue sub-division) in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra, daring the local population to burn banners of their party in front of them, late evening on May 19 when Maoists had called a ‘bandh’ (general shutdown strike), reports The Times of India. Earlier, photographs of Gurupalli villagers making a bonfire of Maoist banners were circulated by the Police on social media. Superintendent of Police (SP), GadchiroliShaileshBalkawade, however, denied Maoists had threatened any villagers labelling the reported incident as a ‘fake propaganda’ and ‘fake news’ on social media. On the other hand, the incident was confirmed by activist Suresh Balsagre of JanhitvadiSanghatna from Etapalli. “This threatening of villagers did take place at Gurupalli on bandh day. The next day pamphlets were found at Jeveli, Dumme and adjoining villages which is a tell-tale sign that Maoists were present,” he said. The villagers of Gurupalli were also warned by the Maoists not to go for tendu (leaves of the DiospyrosMelonoxylon plant), collection the following day (May 20) until the issue was clear before them. The bandh was called against the April 27 encounter of ‘Divisional committee member (DVCM)’ RamkoNarote and Bhamragarh ‘area committee member, ACM’ ShilpaDhurva which the Maoists claimed were ‘extra-judicial’ killings.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze two ‘jungle depots’, a road roller, blocking several internal roads, shutting markets, disrupting services of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses, and also pasted banners and posters about the ‘bandh’ on May 19, in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on May 19, reports The Times of India. The bandh had been called to protest the alleged ‘fake encounter’ killings of their Divisional Committee Member (DVCM) Ramko Narote and cadre Shilpa Dhurva on April 27 at Gundurwahi by C-60 commandos during an operation. In the banners and posters, the Maoists demanded clarification from the Police on the killings. Apart from Police, the Maoists also issued threats to the foresters, urging villagers to resist their work of cutting trees and bamboo, as “they are owned by the tribals”. The Maoists put up a number of banners in the early hours on May 19, throwing challenge to the Police stationed merely four kilometres away at Purada Police Station. The Maoists then headed towards the forest near Warbi (Chirpi), around seven kilometres away, where they set wood at the jungle depot on fire. The depot belonged to the Forest Labourers’ Co-operative Society, where wood from adjoining forests of Yedapar and Kurundi was collected. The Maoists blocked the road between Karamphata and Gurupalli in Etapalli taluka (revenue sub-division) by tying a banner across the road and also laying felled trees on the road. One side of the banner was tied to a vehicle which the Maoists had set ablaze some days ago. Police claimed this road blockade was later removed by villagers so vehicles could pass. Earlier in the morning, State Transport buses had returned to Etapalli depot from this place, but later resumed services till Alapalli. The Maoists later set ablaze a road roller at Gurupalli Road. The roller was engaged in road construction works. A jungle depot near Gurupalli was also set on fire. Maoist banners were also spotted at places in Bhamragarh taluka including at Kospundi phata near Tadgaon, Parlakota river bed and other places. The markets at different taluka places like Korchi in the north and south’s Etapalli, Alapalli and Bhamragarh remained shut.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Balaghat District of Madhya Pradesh has called for a bandh (general shutdown) in the district on September 18 in protest against the ‘encounter killing’ of Maoist leader Jamuna and other members by Police and armed forces reports The Times of India on September 16. The Maoists have put up banners and pamphlets in various parts of the district appealing villagers to not go to work on September 18 also, asking them to join People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) to avenge killing of Jamuna, Mangesh and Nande. The banners were printed on the letterhead of Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh special zonal committee (MMCSZC) and following this incident, the Police have intensified search operations in the region. Maoist leader Jamuna (45) was a hard-core cadre, accused in the murder of Madhya Pradesh Minister Likhiram Kawre in December 1999. She was killed in Chhattisgarh’s Gatapar region in April this year. She carried a reward of Rs. 5 lakh on her head and was one of the most experienced and feared cadres. She ran an armed unit as Tanda area committee secretary and was active on the Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh border. For long on the crosshairs of Security Forces (SFs), she had a narrow escape in January this year; however, later on she was killed in a joint operation carried out by Madhya Pradesh Hawk Force and Chhattisgarh police.
