DOOMDOOMA: The activists of All Tea Tribes Students Association (ATTSA), Tinsukia District Committee burnt the effigy of Pradip Nag, president of the All Adivasi Students’ Association of Assam (AASAA), for his alleged derogatory remarks against tea-tribes and ethnic artists and writers.
ATTSA slammed Pradeep Nag for making alleged derogatory remarks against the ATTSA and tea tribe ethnic artists and writers. The relation between the two organizations became strained following this and allegations and counter-allegations began to appear on social media against each other.
The situation came to such a pass that the news of AASAA leader Pradeep Nag coming to Doomdooma on August 20 to participate in a meeting enraged the ATTSA leaders. Consequently, ATTSA leaders and activists from various parts of the district assembled at Doomdooma town field and held a protest against Pradeep Nag on Friday. The ATTSA workers then chanted slogans against Pradeep Nag and burnt his effigy. ATTSA central committee vice-president Diganta Chahu, assistant secretary Lazarus Nanda, treasurer Rupesh Tanti and several central and district leaders participated in the programme.
ATTSA Tinsukia district president Jagat Nayak warned that if AASAA president Pradeep Nag enters Doomdooma on August 20, a serious law-and-order problem will arise about which the district administration has already been informed.
