Assam: KADHASDCOM To Hold Protest At Jantar Mantar For Immediate Implementation Of Article 244(A)

DIPHU: The Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao Autonomous State Demand Committee (KADHASDCOM) and its allied organizations will stage a sit-in demonstration at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, advocating for the immediate enforcement of Article 244(A) and the establishment of an Autonomous State.

The protest aims to reitarate the long-standing demand for more self-rule in Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao district in Assam. The demonstrators are urging the central government to recognize their constitutional rights and grant them greater autonomy. For years, various groups in the region have been pushing for an autonomous state under Article 244(A).

Article 244 A of the Constitution which allows the parliament to enact a law to establish an autonomous state within the state of Assam comprising sixth schedule area i.e Karbi Anglong and Dima Hasao district is a long pending demand of people of both the districts. The protesters also held placards shouting slogans like “No Autonomous State, No rest”, Article 244(A) is our constitutional rights” etc.

Meanwhile, earlier this year, Members of Dimasa Student Union (DSU) on August 8, staged a mass sit-in demonstration in front of the office of the District Commissioner, demanding the immediate implementation of Article 244 (A).

The protest was also supported by the All Dimasa Student Union (ADSU). DSU general secretary Pramith Sengyung said that Article 244 (A), which was their constitutional right, had always been an election promise by all parties but had never been fulfilled. No party had taken the matter seriously.
