Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Thursday called upon people to follow reason and not emotion to build a strong Assam and urged AASU, AGP and intelligentsia to cooperate in implementation of Clause 6 of the historic Assam Accord.

Sonowal was speaking at the state-level Silpi Divas celebration here in Darrang district.
"A section of vested interests is hell bound to create disturbance in Assam by spreading misinformation that 1.90 crore Bangladeshis will get citizenship as an outcome of the Citizenship Amendment Bill," he said.
 
 
"I, being the son of the soil, will under no circumstances allow my government to harm the interests of the indigenous people of the state," Sonowal said.

He urged the AASU, the Asom Gana Parishad, artist community and intelligentsia to wholeheartedly extend cooperation in the implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord
