By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, Oct 10 - The Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba-Chatra Parishad (AJYCP) today alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Government at the Centre �is out to make Bengali the state language of Assam.�

It has therefore, decided to go for a series of agitational programmes to frustrate such moves and the stir programme may include street corner meetings, mass signature campaign, fast and Assam bandh, among others, against the latest notification of the Central Government to grant entry and stay rights to the non-Muslims migrants who entered Assam till December 31, 2014.

In a statement here, the AJYCP has stated that it would go for a motor cycle procession on October 15 at the headquarter towns of the districts and sub-divisions of the State against the above notification. It will raise the demands for withdrawing the above notification and introduction of inner line permit and dual citizenship for Assam while taking out the procession.

It has also condemned the arrest of the anti-mega dam protestors at Gogamukh in Dhemaji district by the police on October 8, to facilitate transportation of the construction materials to the Lower Subansiri Hydroelectric Power Project dam site and warned of �vigorous resistance struggle� if such deeds are repeated.
