Guwahati: The Kamatapur State Demand Council (KSDC) packed the playground at Kokrajhar Government HS and MP School on Sunday, November 15. The group returned to the streets to demand a separate Kamatapur state. Their list of grievances is long. They want Scheduled Tribe status for the Koch Rajbongshi community and the official inclusion of the Koch Rajbongshi language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
The council also pushed for the release of Jiban Singha, the chairman of the Kamatapur Liberation Organisation (KLO). KSDC leaders spoke to the media following the event. They want the government to act immediately.
The group promised to ramp up their efforts soon. "The organisation would intensify its agitation and launch a larger movement in the coming days if the demands continued to remain unaddressed," leaders warned. They intend to keep the heat on the government until these long-standing issues are resolved for the Koch Rajbongshi people.
