Leading the protest programme, AJYCP Lakhimpur district unit president Hiranya Dutta, general secretary Diganta Bhuyan once again made a scathing attack on the Government of Assam alleging its failure with regard to protecting the Assamese people living in the Assam-Arunachal border area, despite inking of two Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) between Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his Arunachal counterpart Pema Khandu.

Diganta Bhuyan slammed Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu for expressing no heartfelt concern on the heinous killing of two persons of Assam by aggressive Arunachali miscreants.

The organization also demanded the Government of Arunachal Pradesh to hand over the arrested five miscreants, who were involved in the brutal incident.

Notably, two persons were killed and two others injured when a group of unidentified men coming from Arunachal Pradesh opened fire in the Panbari area of Assam’s Dhemaji district on Monday. The two men who died were identified as Boga Chutia and Monitu Gogoi. The two injured persons, Puspa Gogoi and Akoni Gohain, were admitted to the hospital and are being treated.
