New Delhi: A secret report from Delhi claimed that the long-standing demand for a full-fledged separate 'Bodoland' state has now been rejected, however, the report also claimed that the autonomous territory and administrative power of the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) will be increased and upgraded as Union Territorial Council.
As per a report, a secret meeting was held on Thursday among the Joint Action Committee for Separate Bodoland State (Non-Bodo Representatives) with peace interlocutor AB Mathur.
In the meeting, the Non-Bodo representatives have reportedly already agreed on papers that they would have no problem, if NDFB(P) joins hands to sign the peace accord with the Union Government and if BTAD is granted with more administrative & financial power along with the territorial expansion.
On Monday, the Centre is likely to be holding a joint meeting with the representatives of the All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland Progressive (NDFB-P).
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will chair the meeting along with peace interlocutor AB Mathur, Assam Government's representatives in New Delhi.
