Islary said the ABSU was โdead worriedโ over the BU impasse and wanted that the Assam Government make the agitating students โsee reasonโ so that โnormalcy returns to the varsity campusโ. He further stated that with the onset of the festival season, โfewer classes would be held and the striking students have already missed out on a lot of classes this semesterโ. Since September 20 last, classes have not been held and nor has the striking students allowed the administrative wing of the varsity to function.
