GUWAHATI, June 11 � Expressing concern over the State Government�s move to do away with the Assamese (Additional) subject in non-Assamese-medium schools under Sarva Shiksha Abhijan in the State, the All Assam Students� Union (AASU) today said that it was a ploy of the Tarun Gogoi-led State Government to destroy the Assamese language.
The AASU also warned that it would never accept the Government�s move to remove the Assamese language from schools and that it would launch a mass movement unless the Government saw reason.
The AASU also demanded that all the tribal languages under the Eighth Schedule be taught in the vernacular schools of the State.
