Expressing strong anti-sentiments against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Salil Neog and Kanchan Bora, President and General Secretary of Asom Jatiyotabadi Yuva Chaatra Parishad (AJYCP), Margherita Regional Committee alleged anti-Assamese stand against the former and added, “On May 21 2014, we submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister of India through Sub Margherita Sub Divisional Officer (Civil) in connection with private Coal Mining firms forcing their employees to work for 12 hours instead of asking them to do their duty for 8 hours only.” After 1 year of submission of the memorandum to the Prime Minister of India, no serious step has been taken by the Central Government, said Kanchan Bora.
