“The Assam government is absolutely committed to the rights of the indigenous people of the state and emphasis given on the implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord proves it,” Mukhi reiterated.

“The state government has already urged the Centre to declare Assamese as the permanent state language,” Mukhi further said.
