Speaking at the Mising Youth Festival in Dhemaji district, Shah highlighted the community’s rich cultural heritage and its significance to Assam and the nation.

Addressing a large gathering, Shah described the Mising culture as an inseparable part of Assam’s identity, reflecting the soul of both the state and the country. He also praised the community’s contributions to India’s freedom struggle and nation-building, emphasizing that their sacrifices would never be forgotten.

Shah began his speech with the chant of “Bharat Mata ki Jai,” expressing his admiration for the vibrant celebration. He said, “I bow before the Mising community.
