The cut-off year, he said, was 1966 and by implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act, the BJP government is not 'violating' the Assam Accord but addressing its "unresolved issues".

Guwahati:
Assam minister and the BJP's key strategist Himanta Biswa Sarma weighed in on the debate over the citizenship law in the state, contending that 1971 was never the cut-off year for granting citizenship under the Assam accord - a key claim of those protesting against the new law. The cut-off year, he said, was 1966 and by implementing the Citizenship Amendment Act, the BJP government is not 'violating' the Assam Accord but addressing its "unresolved issues".

"Assam accord, a four page document, is not fool-proof. It has many unresolved issues. It has evolved with time. We did not violate the Assam accord. We have addressed the unresolved issues of Assam accord on the CAA," Mr Sarma claimed while taking part in the debate on Governor's speech in the state assembly yesterday.
