caravanmagazine.in/communities/caa-protests-assam-ethnonationalism-2024-aasu
Paid articlePaidQuick Glance: Assam’s Struggling Anti-CAA Protests
- Protests erupted in Assam following the notification of rules for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, led by students and political groups like the AASU and the Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti.
- Protests in Assam began as early as 2018 and gained nationwide significance in 2019, but the 2024 protests are weaker due to the declining relevance of ethnonationalist groups.
- Ethnonationalist groups in Assam, mainly representing the interests of Assamese Hindu elites, failed to revive the anti-CAA protests to the same extent as in 2019, as they were rooted in ethnonationalism rather than democratic values.
- Efforts by the AASU and other nationalist organizations in Assam to gain political power through anti-immigrant sentiment have faltered in the shadow of Hindutva, which dominates the state's anti-immigrant politics.

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
- The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.
- During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
- A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.
- The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.
