AGP demand NE's inclusion in National Anthem
Assam Tribune | New Delhi, Nov 25, 2011,
In what could be a case of 60 years too late, the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) on Friday demanded inclusion of Assam and North Eastern region in the National Anthem. Making a Special Mention in the Rajya Sabha, AGP MP, Kumar Deepak Das on Friday demanded that Assam and North East be mentioned in the National Anthem.
Seclusion of Assam, as well as North-East in the national anthem is an ignominy for the people of the region. After the Constituent Assembly officially adopted Rabindra Nath Tagore’s ‘Jana Gana Mana’ as the National Anthem on January 24, 1950, the freedom fighters, and national leaders and other patriots of the region approached the Central Government, including the then Prime Minister of India, for inclusion of Assam in the anthem, as the entire region was ignored, but without any results, he recalled.
Even mention of name of the mighty Brahmaputra or any of the most rescued assets of the explored paradise of the North Eastern Region in that National Anthem would have given recognition to the North-east, he claimed.
