GUWAHATI: Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma on Thursday appealed to the non-Assamese population of the state to set an example towards building a greater Assamese society by embracing the state’s culture and wear the gamocha on Bihu instead of donating to Rongali Bihu functions in their localities.
“The Marwaris, Bengalis and all other Hindi-speaking people who live in Assam have become an inseparable part of the Assamese community. This time, I am appealing to them to end the practice of giving donations to Bihu functions,” Sarma said.
