Sonowal addressing the press said, "I want to assure people that no one can steal rights of the sons of the soil of Assam, there is no threat to our language or our identity."
"In no way will the honour of Assam be affected. We will always have the support of the people and will move forward with peace in the state," added Sonowal.
A senior official of private telecom operator Airtel said the ban was lifted from 9 am on Friday.
