Govt instigating AAMSU, says Sonowal
Our Staff Correspondent
 DIBRUGARH, Aug 4 – Dibrugarh MP Sarbananda Sonowal has termed the reported fatwa issued against AASU leader Sammujjal Bhattacharya by the Assam Madrassa Students’ Association (AMSA) and the All Assam Minority Students’ Union’s (AAMSU) alleged provocative call to drive out the indigenous people from the districts of Dhubri, Goalpara and Barpeta as dangerous, believing it could ignite communal tension in the state. The reported fatwa issued by AMSA, prohibiting AASU leader Sammujjal Bhattacharya from entering the Barak Valley is the second shock to the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), besides others in last few days after AAMSU’s provocative statement made recently. In a swift press meet called at its party office here, the AGP along with its MP Sonowal sought to condemn the excess of the two minority organisations. 

The student leader-turned-politician described it as a conspiracy, wished-for destruction of the unity among the peace loving multi-religious and ethnic communities of the state. “It is a clear attack on the ‘Sankar-Madhav’-founded peaceful Assam,” Sonowal asserted, adding, the antisocials were making deliberate attempts to alter and tamper with the prestigious history of Assam. “However, all such bid will be challenged,” said Sonowal. 

Taking a dig into the Congress-led state government, Sonowal questioned the Chief Minister as to how antisocial elements were gaining strength and courage under the Congress regime when it was claiming to be pro-Assamese. “Why is the state government sitting cool when terror has been hurled in succession by a few minority organisations?” Sonowal asked. He categorically alleged that these incidents could to have been instigated by the state government.
