AASU calls bandh in Barak Valley

.
Special Correspondent
SILCHAR, Nov 2: All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) has severely lambasted the Gogoi Government for its failure to tackle and contain terrorism and to protect the life of common people of the state.

In a statement issued to the press by Ainul Chowdhury, convenor AASU Cachar, has demanded dismissal of the Gogoi Government and imposition of President’s rule.

The statement prevailed over the Centre to pressure the Bangladesh Government to dismantle the bases and camps of jihadi, terrorist and militant groups on its soil which have become the cause of terrorism and militancy in the entire northeast region.

It accuses the state government of being serious in corruption and spreading its tentacles instead of adopting tough measures to meet the challenges of illegal migrants in order to tackle it in a proper manner and save the indigenous population of Asom.

AASU Cachar has at the same time flayed both the Centre and the State of Asom for their lackadaisical approach to development for which the vital rail and road connectivity of Barak Valley like BG and East-West Corridor could not make any headway.

Highlighting these failures, AASU has called upon people of the Valley to observe 24 hour bandh beginning from 5 am of Monday to conclude at 5 am on Tuesday. source: the sentinel assam
