With a day long protest across the state on Thursday, the Asom Gana Parishad in rank and file have shown that even after being a coalition partner, the regional party will oppose the move to grant citizenship to the illegal Hindu settlers.
Party leaders and workers in the district and sub divisional headquarters thronged in large number and staged protest against the amendment of the Indian Citizenship Act, 1955.
The AGP leaders further slammed the BJP-led government for the failure to nab Soobodh Biswas, the main culprit behind the Silapothar clash where a section of protestirs ransacked a local AASU office.
Governor J B Patnaik said that the government's counter insurgency operations have fetched dividends where the republic day boycott call was defied. In his address after unfurling the national flag in Khanapara in Guwahati, he said that steps are being taken to bring about overall socio-economic development in the state.
He said that the government is leaving no stone unturned to put Assam on a track of rapid development process. Patnaik also said that government was committed to fighting corruption.
The N-E insurgent outfits had called for boycott of Republic Day Celebrations from 1am to 5 30 in the morning.
