The All Adivasi Students’ Association of Assam (AASAA) today said that it would continue its agitation until former Education Minister Ripun Bora is hanged on charges of murdering Daniel Topno. It has also described Congress as a party of murderers. Sticking to power is the sole aim of this party and it does not hesitate even to kill its rivals for achieving this goal, said the AASAA in a statement while expressing gratitude to the people for peacefully observing the 12-hour Assam bandh it had called for today in this connection.The Congress-led State Government had been trying to avoid handing over the Daniel Topno murder case to CBI and providing protection to Ripun Bora for the past eight years. Staining its hands with the bloods of the five Adivasis killed at Khowang on September 29, 2003, another eight Adivasis killed at Paneri on July 25, 2003 and finally with the blood of those tortured and killed at Beltola, the Congress has proved itself to be anit-Adivasi, said the AASAA.The students’ body has also warned the people in general and the Adivasis in particular to remain vigilant of the Congress.Meanwhile, Our Kokrajhar Correspondent has reported that the AASAA-called bandh passed off peacefully in Kokrajhar district.
