Slamming the opposition Congress and its former ally Asom Gana Parishad (AGP), Shah said both the parties did nothing to implement the Assam Accord despite ruling most of the period since signing of the pact in 1985

'We are opposing the Citizenship Bill and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Rajnath Singh not to bring this bill, which will harm Assam and the people of the state. We have already taken a decision that, if the bill is passed we will break the alliance with the BJP. The JPC has today submitted its reports over the bill before the Parliament,' Atul Bora said
