Assam CM Sarbananda Sonowal urged people to follow the ideals of Ahom army general Lachit Borphukan, to take the state to the path of development.
CM Sonowal said the youths must have sincerity, dedication, and passion in their respective fields to contribute to the state’s growth.
He further added that the Battle of Saraighat in 1671 between the Mughal empire and the Ahom Kingdom and the subsequent victory of the Ahoms created the foundation of Assam’s supremacy.
The CM also said that the unflappable heroics of the Ahom general and his patriotism should be emulated by the youth to revive Assam’s lost glory.
The chief minister called on people to take a pledge to build the motherland Bor-phukan had dreamt of and said, “We need to work hard to re-establish our supremacy.”
