AGP Warns CAA Is Devastating for Assam, Urgently Appeals to Supreme Court for Justice:<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

AGP leaders have advocated for the relocation of persecuted refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh to areas outside Assam. To amplify their standpoint, they have sought intervention from the Supreme Court.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a series of meetings in Bajali, AGP central leader Dharmeswar Roy emphasized the party\u2019s dedication to protecting Assam\u2019s regional interests. He noted that the dynamic nature of politics necessitates strategic alliances but stressed that the paramount concern remains the welfare of Assam and its populace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roy reaffirmed, \u201cAs a regional party, we have engaged in political understandings with various parties. Our priority is always the well-being of Assam and its people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

These meetings, involving several AGP mandal committees, were convened to strategize and evaluate the shifting political landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former Barpeta Lok Sabha MP Kumar Deepak Das, present at the meetings, expressed optimism about AGP\u2019s influential role in Assam\u2019s political future. He emphasized that the state will inevitably experience political transformations in line with broader national trends, calling for regional unity to safeguard Assam\u2019s unique cultural and demographic identity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPolitical changes in the country are evident, and Assam will not remain untouched by these shifts,\u201d Das remarked.<\/span><\/p>\n

The meetings underscored the AGP\u2019s commitment to regional integrity and cultural preservation amid looming political changes. The party continues to advocate for Assam\u2019s interests, positioning itself as a pivotal player in the state\u2019s evolving political narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
