While the AASU has assured that it would support the AAPSU's movement, Arunachal's apex students' body pledged that no indigenous people of Assam, irrespective of religion, will be harassed during the drive.
For the safety of the people of Arunachal in Assam the AAPSU also sought cooperation from the AASU and It was also decided that a helpdesk would be set up by both the organisations.
The meeting, organised by the AAPSU's Operation Clean Drive Committee, was chaired by Pritam Wai Sonam, coordinator of North East Students' Organisation (Neso). Chairman of the committee Tatung Taga highlighted the operation modalities of the drive.
