The presence of a tableau from Assam in the Republic Day parade will help enhance the sense of patriotism amongst the people and instil a feeling of nationalism amongst the misguided youth of the state, Gogoi said in a letter to Parrikar today.
Gogoi welcomed the decision of the Centre's Expert Committee for Selection of Tableau for shortlisting the design showcasing Bihu dance and wished that it would be finalised too.
The government of Assam had submitted four designs for the state tableau, out of which the design showcasing the Bihu dance was shortlisted by the Expert Committee.
