DIBRUGARH, Nov 26 � Assam Jatiyatabadi Yuva Parishad (AJYP) while extending moral support to the effort of AASU to shut down the business of Vishal Mega Mart in the state for trying to malign the students� body of the state, today said that the business group should apologize at any cost or face the wrath of the people of the state.
If Congress-affiliated organisations can seek donations from traders and business companies, other organisations working for the development of the state can also seek financial help, Gopinath Das and Udayon Kumar Gogoi, president and general secretary respectively of AJYP said in a press statement. �Business groups operating in Assam will not be allowed to carry away the wealth of the state if they do not contribute towards the development of the state,� the organisation.
AJYP has suspected that the entire revelation of �donation and phone tapping� is engineered by the Congress-led government to divert the attention of the people from the ongoing agitations against construction of mega dams and other burning issues plaguing the state.
