Assam CM Tarun Gogoi on Friday described the frequent attack on students of Northeast as racial attack and sought the intervention of the Central government to check it.
Mr Gogoi said: “Such dastardly attacks on Northeast youths in Delhi and other places outside the region are most despicable and reprehensible.”
He also called for stern action against such racial attacks.
Mr Gogoi also demanded enactment of a deterrent law to prevent such racial attacks on Northeast youths in Delhi and other parts of the country more frequently.
Mr Gogoi’s statement came in the wake of two incidents of lethal attack youths of the region in Bengaluru and Delhi in past 48 hours. Meanwhile, several students organisations and civil society groups of the region have also condemned the attacks outside the Northeast.
