She has further alleged that there is a strong political agenda behind the whole issue and all the incidents of involving Assamese people to protest against the bill was planned. "If the bill gets passed, first we will lose our language. And, if our language is lost, how can our identity exist?" questioned Borthakur.
Borthakur also alleged that BJP Government has always taken Assam and Assamese identity for granted and used the community only for political benefits. "Today, it's a matter of shame that our own people who boasts of Jaati, Maati and Bheti, could not stand up to the slogan," added Borthakur.
