The Union Cabinet approved the setting up of a High-Level Committee for implementation of Clause 6 of the Assam Accord.
About:
After Assam agitation of 1979-1985, Assam Accord was signed in 1985.
Clause 6 of the Assam Accord envisaged that appropriate constitutional, legislative and administrative safeguards, shall be provided to protect, preserve and promote the cultural, social, linguistic identity and heritage of the Assamese people.
However, it has been felt that Clause 6 of the Assam Accord has not been fully implemented even almost 35 years after the Accord was signed.
The Cabinet, therefore, approved the setting up of a High-Level Committee to suggest safeguards as envisaged in Clause 6 of the Assam Accord.
The Composition and Terms of Reference of the Committee will be issued separately by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
