Stating that the solution to solving this vexed problem lies in the Assam Accord, he added that any attempt to violate the clauses of the Assam Accord will be opposed by the people of Assam", he said. "The Central and the State Governments have failed us miserably", he lamented.

The AASU leader said that he will appeal before the Supreme Court of India for "immediate measures", adding that he has 'full faith' in the Supreme Court. "Perhaps there is some 'error' in the NRC, or perhaps it is incomplete. For remedial measures, we will approach the Supreme Court of India", he added.
