Senior Assam minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has said that the government cannot implement the recommendations of the central panel on Clause 6 of the Assam Accord as those are far from legal reality . This is the first time that a senior minister spoke about the recommendations of the report, which was submitted to Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on February 25 last year for handing it over to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The recommendations given by the committee are far from the legal reality of this land. How can we implement them? said Sarma, also the convenor of the North East Democratic Alliance (NEDA), the regional arm of the NDA.
