In a recent session at the Assam Assembly, BJP legislator Pradyut Bordoloi praised former Chief Minister Gopinath Bordoloi for safeguarding Assam’s identity during the Partition era. Bordoloi, who switched from Congress to BJP before the Assembly polls, emphasized the importance of protecting Assamese identity and indigenous rights in the current political scenario.
During the discussion on the Governor’s address, Bordoloi linked historical events to the present government’s focus on preserving Assam’s cultural heritage. He highlighted Gopinath Bordoloi’s efforts to prevent Assam from being merged with East Bengal or Pakistan, citing the state’s potential grouping with Bengal during the Partition period.
Bordoloi underscored the significance of Gopinath Bordoloi’s firm stance in keeping Assam within India. He drew parallels between past challenges to Assam’s identity and the present government’s commitment to upholding indigenous rights and cultural heritage. Bordoloi urged fellow Assembly members to support initiatives aimed at safeguarding Assamese civilization and culture as outlined in the Governor’s address.
