A moment of pride: Hirak Jyoti Bora, a resident of Dhing, Assam, addresses the violation of Indigenous rights at the UN Headquarters in Geneva.

On 25th September, Hirak Jyoti Bora spoke at the UN headquarters regarding the issues related to illegal immigrants in Assam and how it’s causing disturbances for the native people.”The recent amendment in Citizenship Act has added to the complexity of the situation and has also violated the conditions of the Assam accord.”

He mentioned in his speech. Moreover, the persistent demand for the completion of the National Registration of Citizenship did not benefit the indigenous people due to its flawed execution.

In response to his speech, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma stated that he would hold a discussion with All Assam Students Union (AASU) Chief Adviser Sammujal Bhattacharya and would investigate the concerns raised about the Assam Accord and promised to address these issues.

Mr.Bora also addressed the suffering and human rights violations of the indigenous people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. He mentioned the current state of these innocent people and how they were threatened by state armed forces. He urged the international community to look into the matter and protect them.

Hirak Jyoti Bora, a prominent advocate for the rights of indigenous people, made a passionate appeal to the council, urging them to conduct a thorough and meticulous examination of the pressing issues faced by the native communities in Assam. He emphasized the need for the council to engage in meaningful and constructive discussions with the Indian government to ensure the protection and preservation of the rights of Assam’s indigenous population.

In his address, Mr. Bora highlighted the historical and ongoing challenges that the native people of Assam have encountered, including threats to their land, culture, and identity. He stressed the importance of safeguarding these elements to maintain the unique heritage and social fabric of the region. Mr. Bora called on the council to take concrete actions and implement policies that would address these concerns and promote the well-being of Assam’s indigenous communities.

As he concluded his speech, Mr. Bora invoked the powerful and emotionally charged slogan “Joi Aai Axom,” which translates to “Victory to Mother Assam.” This phrase is deeply rooted in the Assamese cultural consciousness and reflects the community’s deep-seated pride, resilience, and commitment to their homeland.

By ending with these words, Mr. Bora reinforced the collective determination of the Assamese people to stand united in their pursuit of justice and recognition. His speech resonated with the audience, leaving a lasting impression of the unwavering spirit and solidarity of the Assamese community in the face of adversity.
