They are unable to accept it and so, they have targeted the media. We expect the same stand and guidance from the media in the upcoming days as it has done since the past.”

According to the conditions of the Assam Accord, we demanded AIIMS, Indian Institute of Management, Indian Institute of Science Education Research, and others as well. The development they are saying to provide the people, these are our basic rights. He did not speak about any of the issues in the national level about the flood and erosion that has destroyed the economic development of the state. They did not even amend the Assam Accord till date despite 36 years of struggles by the people.”
