NEW DELHI: A soon to be convened tripartite talks over the Assam Accord is expected to clear the citizenship controversy. This was what the impression of Dr Samujjal Bhattacharya after the AASU adviser along with Dipankar Nath and Lurinjyoti Gogoi called on Union home minister Rajnath Singh in the capital on Thursday.
The three member AASU delegation has warned Singh that they were not prepared to compromise the implementation of the Assam Accord and the cut off date for detecting and deporting the Bangladeshi immigrants.
The AASU team told the reporters here that they have made it plain before the home minister that they won't allow the Centre to proceed with the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016 to grant citizenship to the Hindu immigrants.
"Singh assured us within the next couple of weeks the Centre would convene a tripartite meet to discuss the Assam Accord implementation where chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal would be present," said Dr Bhattacharya.
