Legendary singer Bhupen Hazarika’s son Tez Hazarika opposing the citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 has said that award of Bharat Ratna to his father “is a display of short lived cheap thrill”.
In a statement Mr Tez said, ” I believe that my father’s name and words are invoked and celebrated publicly while plans are foot to pass a citizenship bill which is hugely unpopular and that is undermining his documented position on the issue.”
Protest against the citizenship bill has spread across Assam as the bill which was passed in Lok Sabha will be presented in Rajya sabha for approval.
