BDYF smears black ink on Assamese language banner
It can be referred to that earlier Barak Democratic Youth Front (BDYF) allegedly smeared black ink on a government banner that was written in the Assamese language which was close to Silchar Railway Station.
Following this, the administration of Cachar district lodged an FIR in opposition to the BDYF employer at Silchar Police Station.
BDYF leader denies allegation
Later, BDYF leader Pradip Dutta Roy stated that the organization was not involved in the alleged act of dishonoring the Assamese language. He was summoned by the Cachar police to depose his sayings last Tuesday.

Roy after recording his statement before police told the media, “I informed the police that there was a protest program of our organization at the same venue but the poster was smeared with black ink even before our members reached the spot. We don’t know who did it.”
The leader, however, stated that the organization will brawl and fight over the Bengali language and its legal implementation in Barak valley.
