Accordingly various states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh etc has already formulated guidelines to provide land rights to the traditional forest dwellers but
the Assam Govt. has failed to show its seriousness in this regard. Gogoi also critcised the unparallel treatment given by the Central Govt. towards the flood situation in Assam. He also demanded a Rs.2000 crore package for Assam’s flood and proper rehabilitation of flood affected people.
Speaking on the occasion B.D. Sarma, ex-Vice Chancellor of NEHU and ex-Commissioner of SC and ST Commission, said that “Law is for people, people are not for law”.

He also appealed KMSS to take steps to raise their voice for the flood affected people of the state. On the other hand noted leader of farmer’s Land Patta movement Mr. Bijoy Pandey said that the Govt. has failed to perform its duty to its people.
