You talk about you don't know what happened in Assam, what happened in Assam was just like what happened in other areas. Protests in some.places were peaceful, and nobody knew any thing,.some didn't even knew why they were there, protesting against what. In some places it turned ugly.
And here in Meghalaya, in the name of protests against CAB, Bengali people(most of whom are descendants or themselves Hindu Bangladeshis who are now Indian citizens) were beaten, cars were burned and so on. Although Meghalaya has its own agenda, aka Inner Line Permit.
Yes, it is unfortunate that Government has no other tool than shutting down interne to control riots, but currently this is the only way.
See personally I am not in favour of CAB, just like rest of North East, because Northeast isn't rich enough or developed enough to sustain them. And given how less the numbers of the natives here is, it is always bound to.happen that immigrants out number them. Tripura is a major example.
