AHSEC chief allegedly asked people of Barak Valley to secede if unwilling to learn Assamese
A former Congress MP has sought action against the chairman of Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) for allegedly asking the people of Bengali-dominated Barak Valley to secede if unwilling to learn the Assamese language.
In a letter to Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday, All India Mahila Congress president Sushmita Dev said AHSEC chairman Dayananda Borgohain’s remark was unacceptable and discriminatory. She also forwarded a video of his “controversial” statement in a tweet tagging the Chief Minister.

In the afternoon on March 29, a meeting of the Mahajot alliance, led by the Congress, at Chalantapara in Assamâs Bongaigaon assumed an emotional tone. It was raining heavily and there was a power cut, so the meeting began under candlelight. The chief guest at the 100-plus gathering of workers from the Congress and its ally, the All India United Democratic Front, was Abdul Khaleque, the grand old partyâs Lok Sabha MP from Barpeta. Leaders of both parties from Bongaigaon and neighbouring areas were in attendance.

New Delhi:
Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit has taken potshots at his party for not including infamous G-23 in the party s star campaigners list for ensuing West Bengal and Assam Assembly elections, saying if the high command thinks that 30 leaders selected for campaigning are enough to win the polls then it s good, what s the need for other leaders . It s up to the high command to include leaders in the list. If they think that 30 leaders included in the star campaigners list can make a difference then it s good. If the party thinks that these 30 leaders are enough to campaign and win elections then why any other leader is needed for the campaign, said Sandeep Dikshit when asked why senior leaders like Gulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma, Kapil Sibbal, and Manish Tiwari were not included in Congress star campaigner list for West Bengal polls.
