‘Go back, Coronavirus go back’: Assam students’ slogan has people in splits

While some claimed the slogans seemed to be inspired by those used during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests, many thought it didn't beat the Maharashtra MP's 'go corona, corona go' slogan or the "corona bhaag ja" song.
