AJP Delegation Presses Rahul Gandhi on Assam Accord and CAA Repeal

This meeting could pave the way for broader opposition coordination in Assam ahead of the 2026 state elections.

Overview

  • A six-member Assam Jatiya Parishad team led by Lurinjyoti Gogoi met Rahul Gandhi at Parliament House and submitted a memorandum outlining demands on the Assam Accord.
  • The delegation urged execution of Clause 6 to secure constitutional safeguards for indigenous communities and condemned the Citizenship Amendment Act as a threat to Assam’s social fabric.
  • Rahul Gandhi expressed concern that hundreds of thousands could be disenfranchised overnight and sought detailed briefings on unchecked immigration’s impact on indigenous populations.
  • AJP leaders called for an immediate update of the National Register of Citizens and criticized government eviction drives as politically motivated distractions from core constitutional issues.
  • Participants hailed the encounter as an initial step toward forging a united opposition front in Assam, though no formal alliance or seat-sharing pact has been announced.
