Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday clarified that the Bodo language would continue to be used during the proceedings or any other official business of the Assembly.
“I have been informed by the honourable Speaker of the Assam Legislative Assembly that there is no proposal to withdraw the use of the Bodo language from the proceedings or any other official business of the Assembly,” Sarma said.
The statement comes amid concerns over the reported withdrawal of the Bodo language from Assembly proceedings.
The Chief Minister further said the Bodo language was an inseparable part of Assam’s rich cultural heritage and identity.
“It carries the history, traditions, and aspirations of the Bodo community and enriches the vibrant diversity that defines our state,” he said.
“The Government of Assam is fully committed to preserving and promoting the Bodo language. We will continue to make every possible effort to support its growth and ensure that it continues to flourish for generations to come,” Sarma said.
