A video of a procession is getting viral on the internet. Sharing the video people are claiming that the video of a protest in Assam where Muslims from Bangladesh are demanding a separate country. Further, sharing the image @SudhirKumarSuri wrote the caption which nearly translates into English, “Bangladeshi Muslims take out a procession in Assam to create a separate country and see their condition.”

Both the picture are of the same incidence. Therefore, the claim regarding the video is fake. The video is people protesting in Goalpara, Assam against the ‘doubtful citizens and voters’ tag imposed by the government. And, a Muslim Youth was killed in alleged police firing during the protest.
Conclusion
Hence, it is clear that users are spreading an old video with a false claim.
