After the end of the protest rally a protest meet was organized at the premises of Mahiranga Bhawan of Khoirabari.

He further said that " Vested Political circles have deprived the community of their due rights as well as Tribal Sangha has betrayed them", alleged the student leader.
"Though Barman-Kachari community finds its place in list of 14 scheduled tribal communities of Assam,yet its an irony that Tribal Sangha is doubtful of our tribal identity ", added the student leader.
He further added that ," In the year 2004 the officials of Welfare Of Plain Tribes & Backward Classes Department Government of Assam had assured of viable solution of the same but the issues remain unanswered till date".
"Contrary to that on 24th March 2015 activists of All Assam Nikhil Barman Kachari Students' Union and Tribal Sangha had called for a meeting at Tribal Rent Housing for development of community village and census of population of the community in the districts and the data of the population was submitted to Tribal Sangha. To the same effect Tribal Sangha constituted a five member sub-committee for Ranghajuli Ghat village of Bhergaon sub-division of Udalguri district and Tagunbari village of Tamulpur subdivision of Baksa district . The culture,language,ethnic dress,food of the Barman-Kachari were analysed and Tribal Sangha assured of issuance of Tribal certificates yet it is a million dollar question what has hindered them from keeping up their promises ", the student leader questioned .
The protest rally was also attended by Nikhil Barman Kachari Students' Union activists,All Assam Barman-Kachari Students' Union Udalguri district committee President Sanjeev Barman ,Secretary Madhab Barman along with activists of Barman Kachari Jatiya Samiti.
