SIVASAGAR: “The Axam Xahitya Xabha has been proactively pursuing the 1960’s language policy and has consistently been urging the government to implement it, if it respects the State language at all.” This was stated by Hridayananda Gogoi, convener of the central committee for Implementation of Mother Tongue and State Language, at a meeting at the Rangpur Xahitya Xabha in Sivasagar on Sunday. Addressing the meeting, Gogoi said that the Xabha had never pressed for imposing Assamese on other languages, rather it had demanded use of different ethnic languages in the tribal autonomous areas and Bengali in the Barak Valley.

He added that the Xahitya Xabha, under the leadership of Dr Paramananda Rajbongshi, had signed an MoU with all universities in Assam, except the Kaziranga University, to practically implement the language policy. The Xabha, through a release, urged all to use the mother tongue at home and offices, business establishments and public transport. The Xabha has also demanded the appointment of Assamese-medium teachers in all KVs, CBSE and SEBA-affiliated English-medium schools. Hemen Hazarika, coordinator of the language implementation committee, said that the primary units of the Xabha should begin the work of language implementation locally.
