“We will take the legal route to seek revocation of the amended Act as the indigenous people of Assam are apprehensive that their identity, language might come under threat,” Das, a former Rajya Sabha MP, said.

Sources said a delegation of the AGP, led by Das, would leave for Delhi in the evening to file the plea in the apex court.
