Assam Forest minister Pramila Rani Brahma has openly backed banned outfit ULFA-I chief Paresh Barua’s demand that Sanskrit should not be made compulsory in government schools.
According to ULFA-I, Bodo language should be made compulsory as Bodos are the second largest indigenous community in Assam.
Supporting ULFA-I’s demand, Brahma said, “The Assam government’s decision to make Sanskrit compulsory is still open to a review by the state cabinet.”
