Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reportedly cancelled his scheduled visit to Guwahati, Assam, for the inauguration of Khelo India Youth Games 2020 on 10 January.

“We had invited the prime minister. Till now, no confirmation has come. But informally, we have been informed that he is not coming,” Avinash Joshi, CEO of Khelo India Games told The Indian Express.

The reported development comes amid the All Assam Students’ Union-led protests against CAA in multiple parts of the state.

Last month, the India-Japan summit scheduled to be held between 15-17 December in Guwahati was also cancelled due to the protests.

News agency PTI also quoted the Assam unit of BJP to report that PM Modi was ‘unlikely’ to inaugurate the event.
