AASU had firmly contradicted the 1980 Parliament races

history channel documentary science Exploiting the profound established assessments and uneasiness of Assamese individuals against the pioneers, AASU and AAGSP effectively transmuted it into an across the board famous development with the clamored call of 'Bideshi Khedao' (kick the outsiders out). Different social-political gatherings, identities and intellectual elite assumed furtive or dynamic part in this six year long reactionary unsettling. The state of mind of the disturbance was very much accounted by writer Chaitanya Kalbagh: "Beside the counter outsider estimation, the development has created different risky strains - hostile to Bengali, against Left, hostile to Muslim, against non Assamese, and gradually however perceptibly, even against Indian." (India Today, 1-15 May, 1980)

AASU had firmly contradicted the 1980 Parliament races and later the 1983 State Assembly decision on the ground that the surveys be deferred till discretionary rolls were purified of unlawful foreigners. In the midst of the progressing disturbance, the Congress government proceeded for the State Assembly surveys in February 1983. Amid the surveys the state saw expansive scale illegal conflagration, shared unsettling influences, bunch conflicts and killings. The viciousness had no specific example - ethnic conflicts between Assamese tribal and non-tribal; public conflicts between nearby Hindus and foreigner Muslims and phonetic conflicts amongst Assamese and Bengalis happened everywhere throughout the state.

On February 18, a day after the surveying has finished up, the town of Nellie in Nagaon locale, 34 miles north-east of Guwahati was essentially transformed into a killing field by an awful and fierce slaughter. As per authority figures, on a solitary day, 2191 guiltless and extremely poor Bengali Muslims, for the most part ladies and youngsters, were butchered without trying to hide by Assamese Hindus and Lalung tribals. A quarter century have passed however the Nellie slaughter still remains a to a great degree baffling situation where nobody guaranteed obligation regarding the slaughter, no legal test or autonomous enquiry was ever requested by the Congress or the AASU, a Commission of Inquiry was established yet the 600-page report was never made open and not a solitary individual was indicted. The Congress and ensuing AGP government smothered all data and intentionally attempted to rub off the horrifying and dishonorable scene from the memory of Assam.
