AASU bids farewell to Lurinjyoti Gogoi:
Former general secretary of the All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) Lurinjyoti Gogoi who has resigned from the student body at recently-concluded Duliajan session was given a formal farewell by the AASU at Gauhati University on Thursday.
“I will carry forward this uncompromising attitude and self-esteem of an Assamese,” said an emotional Lurinjyoti Gogoi.
“I am stepping forward towards a thorny path. Escapist attitude to avoid challenges is not the characteristic of a real fighter,” he added.
On the other hand, AASU chief advisor Dr. Samujjal Bhattacharjya extended his best wishes to Gogoi.
“I congratulate Lurinjyoti Gogoi and extend my best wishes,” said Bhattacharjya.
