The The Government should know the spirit of the Swahid Divas (Martyrs' Day), said Chandrakanta Talukdar, brother of the first martyr of Assam Agitation, Khargeshwar Talukdar. Khargeshwar Talukdar, being the first martyr of that historic agitation of the land remains a beloved name for every true Assamese. He stressed that his motive behind the participation was to support the State BJP in highlighting the Assam Agitation and illegal immigration crisis at the national level. Khargeshwar Talukdar, student of Bhabanipur College. 34 years later, it was an outspoken and controversial man – KPS Gill, who raked up the issue of Khargeshwar Talukdar, once again in Assam. The 22-year-old general secretary of Barpeta AASU unit, Khargeshwar Talukdar, was the first person to be martyred in the Assam Agitation on December 10, 1979 at Bhabanipur. Gill’s recent comments only awakened the long dormant demons of the state and the way it is being pictured by media, it probably will end up as the biggest controversy of 2013. The Assam Agitation fueled off and lasted for the next six years, rattling New Delhi’s power chords in such magnitude ever since India’s Independence. Further, Talukdar said in 2012 and 2017, he participated in the Swahid Divas programme organized by the State BJP. The next day was one which neither Taulkdar’s family nor Assam could ever forget.
