Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, following the ongoing controversy over his remark on the ‘Miya’ community, on July 16 appealed that instead of debating on the matter, Assamese youths need to bring back the work culture.
Instead Of Debating, Bring Back To Work Culture: Assam CM
While speaking to media persons after the Tiffin meeting in Amingaon, the Chief Minister said, “We need to accept that work culture of the Assamese community is slowly diminishing for which a particular community has started to have a hold on the financial conditions of the state. Instead of feeling envious, we need to compete with them.”
“Lower Assam especially Guwahati is dependent on Kharupetia for vegetables, however, news reports on various newspapers and channels are suggesting that excessive fertilizers are used in these vegetables. As a result of this, we are infected with diseases related to liver, kidney. Even after being aware of the matter, the Assamese youths refuse to grow their own vegetable in their backyard,” Sarma said.
“They are continuously complaining about the vegetables for the excessive use of fertilizers and price hike and yet they consume it as there is no other way except farming,” he added. Furthermore, Sarma appealed for creating awareness to all irrespective of party or organization on this matter.
