Consider the following statements regarding Clause 6 of Assam accord, recently in news: 1. This clause seeks to protect the rights of all the people living in Assam. 2. It was introduced mainly against the effect of migration between 1951 and 1971 in Assam. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation: This clause seeks to protect the rights of citizens of Assam only and not the all people living in Assam. As people living in Assam include the both outsiders and citizens of Assam. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect. It is one of the promises in the Assam Accord given by the Union government. It was supposed to act as a safeguard against the effect of migration between 1951 and 1971 on Assam’s demography and the state’s culture. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
