GUWAHATI: Bolstering Congress MP Ripun Bora's contention that the national anthem must point out the northeast, the influential All Assam Students' Union (Aasu) on Sunday mentioned it has long been demanding this revision and it's about time that a trade be brought about.
"We have been asking for it (inclusion of the northeast) in the national anthem for long. We have not placed it before the government, but the fact remains that for whatever reasons, the name of the northeast has not been included in the anthem. Aasu wants it to be included," Aasu president Dipanka Nath advised TOI on Sunday.
On Friday, Bora had moved a private member's resolution that the "House urge the government to amend the National Anthem to delete the word 'Sindh' and replace it with the words 'Northeast India'." Bora had mentioned, "Northeast is important part of India, it is unfortunate that it is not part of national anthem. On the other hand, Sindh is mentioned, which is no longer part of India but part of Pakistan, which is a hostile country."
In a special context, but only a day after Bora, Haryana minister Anil Vij sought an modification to the anthem as well, demanding that the phrase 'adhinayak' be replaced since India is a democracy now. Vij had supported Bora's resolution.
The first official report of the call for for inclusion of a reference to the region in the national anthem used to be in 1986 via AGP legislator Zoii Nath Sarma in the assembly.
In 2013, the issue got here up for discussion in the state assembly again. AGP legislator Phani Bhusan Choudhury moved a private member's resolution, referring to a vernacular day by day's report, quoting TOI, the place the notation of the national anthem printed in 1950 and 1997 showed the phrase Kamrup (historic name of Assam) inserted in the lyric composed via Tagore. Choudhury, while transferring his resolution, had stated that mentioned the phrase 'Kamrup' used to be dropped from the national anthem to make room for the phrase 'Sindhu' and he demanded re-inclusion of 'Kamrup'. He had mentioned that no person had tried to verify the report printed via TOI. Congress minister Rakibul Hussain had then advised the House that the state government would means TOI for verification.
In 2016, former Meghalaya governor V Shanmuganathan had recommended in his deal with at 65th Plenary of the North Eastern Council in Shillong that the region must in finding point out in the national anthem. That would, he mentioned, instil a sense of belongingness a few of the other folks of the region. Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to be also present at the function.
