Don't spread misinformation on CAB: Sonowal

December 10, 2019 23:22

Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday asked protesters to not spread 'misinformation' over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, as the state came to a grinding halt due to a day-long strike called by nearly 20 organisations against the legislation.

Sonowal, speaking at a programme in Guwahati, said no one should allow 'divisive forces' to destabilise the state.

"In order to put Assam strongly on the world map, we all must work dedicatedly. Building a robust work culture in the state should be the prime objective of everyone and youths must not be misled to join agitations," he said.
