The Assam Jatiya Parishad (AJP) came out swinging on Wednesday, blasting Assam University for excluding Bohag Bihu—the state’s most cherished cultural festival—from its 2025 holiday list. The party has called the move a “direct insult” to Assamese identity and a serious blow to regional unity.
The Assam education minister Ranoj Pegu said that the results of the high school leaving certificate (HSLC) examination will be declared during the festive season of Bohag Bihu in the state.
