NDFB submits memo to PM with demands

GUWAHATI, May 1 – The National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) today formally submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister enlisting its demands to start the process of political dialogues with the Government of India. In a release here today, the information and publicity secretary of the outfit, S Sanjarangs said that the memorandum was a reflection of the Bodo people’s historical rights, the long-cherished hopes and aspirations as well as the principles and ideology of the NDFB.
The release said that the memorandum was handed over to officials of the Government of India by a team led by the general secretary of the NDFB, Govinda Basumatary. The NDFB expressed the hope that the memorandum would push forward the peace process and called upon all sections of people to extend their cooperation to ensure a permanent solution to the problems.
It may be mentioned that the peace talks with the NDFB were delayed because of the failure of the outfit to submit its charter of demands.Meanwhile, MHA sources said that the memorandum was handed over by the NDFB in a meeting chaired by the Special Secretary, Internal Security. MHA sources, however, were tight lipped about the contents of the memorandum.
