In Assam, there were protests agains the influx of Bangladeshi migrants. This had its political impact too. Asom Gana Parishad, a regional party, was formed out of the protests. Due to the protests, there was an accord that was signed on August 15, 1985.
A section, section 6A, was added in the Citizenship Act of 1955. This was added to address concerns about the influx of immigrants from Bangladesh after 1971. A case was filed against this and the Supreme Court was hearing it to determine the constitutionality of the Section 6A. In December 2023, the Court has reserved the judgement after hearing the arguments for four days.
The Court will pronounce its judgement today.
