Guwahati, Oct 30: The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) has said it is planning to float a new political party as the people are looking for an alternative to the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP).
Branding the AGP as a 'betrayer', AASU president Prabin Boro said in a statement here last night that it would soon initiate discussions with several organisations and prominent
individuals to find an ''alternative to the present set of politicians who have failed to protect the rights of the indigenous people''.
Boro pointed out that AGP was formed at the initiative of the AASU and the people of Assam to work for the interest of the indigenous people and to implement all the clauses of the Assam accord. But the party had failed to live up to the expectations of the people, he said.
He said the AASU would not spare anyone found to be working against Assam and its people's interests.
The AASU would soon initiate talks with the cross-section of people including those representing ethnic groups and take a decision as per their suggestions for the protection of the interests of the indigenous people, he said.
