SHILLONG: The Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM) president and North Shillong MLA Adelbert Nongrum has threatened to call for a total boycott against the celebration of the 50th year of Statehood next year.
"We the citizens of Meghalaya don't want celebration but we want a solution. Therefore, I urge the people of the State to be ready to oppose the celebration and greet the State government with a total boycott," said Adelbert Nongrum.
He made it clear on the floor of the House that he would not be part of such celebration.
He said the preparation for the celebration is meaningless because to date the State government is yet to resolve the long-pending boundary dispute with Assam.
"While people are being fooled by false assurances, Assam is continuing to illegal encroach our lands besides committing atrocities against our people living in the border areas," he said.
