The Citizenship Amendment Bill has led to widespread protests in Assam. Black flags and black clothing have been a significant part of the protests. However, forcing a toddler to remove his jacket in the cold has been seen as an extreme step by most.
Locals at the events told NDTV–
“There is a phobia among the police personnel against the color black. They even forced a child to remove his black jacket exposing him to cold fearing the black garment may be a sign of protest.”
