Assam: Former Sahitya Sabha President joins AGP

GUWAHATI:

Former Asam Sahitya Sabha President Paramananda Rajbongshi joined the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), an ally in the ruling BJP-led Assam government, at the regional party’s headquarters on Tuesday.

Rajbongshi, who had served as the general secretary of the Sahitya Sabha and later elected as the President of the state’s apex literary body in 2017, said he strongly advocated regionalism and was clear about joining the AGP.

“Being associated with the Sahitya Sabha and working for the greater Assamese community has motivated me to keep my regionalism spirit alive,” he said.

“We resolve to move forward rectifying mistakes of the past with a new hope for the future of Assam,” the AGP President said.
