Assam, Feb 20: Assam government has said that report of a high-level committee on Assam Accord Clause 6 is under examination of the legal experts. This comes almost a year since the high-level committee on the Assam Accord’s Clause 6 constituted by the Ministry of Home Affairs submitted its report of recommendations to the Assam government.
Assam Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told Aajtak/India Today TV that certain recommendations of the high-level committee go contrary to the various verdicts pronounced by the Supreme Court.
