Rahul Gandhi also mentioned Dipanjal Das, who was killed in Guwahati during anti-CAA protests in 2019 and said, “When I’d come to meet family of Dipanjal Das, I felt that bullets weren’t fired at one youth, it was fired at Assam. It was attempted to murder Assam. He wasn’t just a youth, he was an idea. He was Assam.”
Rahul Gandhi further added, “Dipanjal Das was a youth of Assam. BJP government didn’t do what it was supposed to. They didn’t provide him employment and when he stood for Assam peacefully, he was shot dead by BJP-RSS. We give you 5 guarantees, the first being that we won’t let CAA get implemented in Assam,” as quoted by ANI.
