Akhil Gogoi, the MLA of Sivasagar constituency and president of Raijor Dal, has issued a special appeal to the public, urging them to safeguard the unity and harmony of Assamese society. In a written statement, Gogoi expressed concern over the current situation in Assam and called for collective resistance against the ruling party’s alleged conspiracies.
Gogoi highlighted that concerted efforts are being made to undermine the age-old traditions and unity of Assamese society. He stated, “It is unfortunate that the ruling party is systematically attempting to tear apart the fabric of our society and, in particular, the bonds of harmony.” He warned that these developments are not only alarming but also raise questions about whether the core principle of Assamese society—living together in harmony and moving forward collectively—is at risk of being damaged.
Expressing gratitude for the opportunity to represent Sivasagar, a sacred land where the Ahom Swargadeos laid the foundation of the Assamese nation, Gogoi emphasized the region’s historical significance. He noted that during the 600-year Ahom rule, Sivasagar served as the starting point for a journey of equality, friendship, and unity that shaped the greater Assam region. “From Sivasagar, the great Swargadeos fostered an environment of peace and togetherness, creating a strong foundation for our collective identity as Assamese,” he said. He credited the Ahom governance system for instilling the values of unity, harmony, and a distinct Assamese identity.
However, Gogoi expressed concern that the ruling party is deliberately targeting Sivasagar’s heritage and harmony to destabilize Assamese society. He stated, “The ruling party believes that by attacking Sivasagar’s society and heritage, they can successfully sow communal polarization in Assam and destabilize the harmony of our society.” He pointed out that repeated attempts are being made to disrupt Sivasagar’s legacy of unity.
As the MLA of Sivasagar and a proud Assamese and descendant of the Ahom lineage, Gogoi firmly believes that the people of Sivasagar will resist these conspiracies from the very land where the Ahom Swargadeos built the foundation of the Assamese identity. He declared, “From the soil of Sivasagar, a clear message will go out to those who believe in divisive politics: we have lived in harmony and will continue to do so. We have been and will remain united as a nation, transcending religion.”
Gogoi called upon the conscious citizens, organizations, and media of Sivasagar to unite and thwart the ruling party’s attempts to undermine the region’s heritage. He urged all sections of society, irrespective of caste, creed, or religion, to come together in this critical moment to defeat the forces of division and uphold the ideals of unity and harmony championed by the Ahom Swargadeos.
This appeal underscores the importance of preserving Assamese unity and harmony while reaffirming Sivasagar’s historic role as a symbol of collective strength and resilience.
