GUWAHATI: Congress has invited applications from Assamese architects to plan and design the proposed upcoming Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) Martyrs’ memorial that the party has promised to construct if voted to power in Assam.
“We respect public sentiments and hence the announcement for a grand memorial was made. Taking a step further we are inviting applications from the architects in Assam to share their suggestions and designs for the memorial with us,” said Ripun Bora, President of Assam Pradesh Congress Committee at a press conference.
“Calling all Assamese architects based anywhere in the world. Assam needs you. Send in your model image for the grand anti-CAA monument the Congress will build in Guwahati after winning the election,” he further mentioned in a tweet.
The Congress party has vowed to set up a memorial for the martyrs of the Citizenship Amendment Act protest of 2019. The party has already asked its workers to collect 50 lakh Gamosas from across the state that will be displayed at the memorial.
Congress leader Ripun Bora informed that the district units and booth level committees have been apprised to collect Gamosas and targets have been set in this regard.
“After Rahul Gandhi Ji’s rally, the mood of the state is clear that the Assamese electorate is going to vote against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) because of CAA which means cruelty against Assam, and all Congress men are feeling rejuvenated to work even harder on ground,” said the APCC President.
