NDFB threatens to stall talks

Guwahati, June 26 : The Ranjan Daimary-led faction of National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) today warned that it would reconsider its decision to suspend all operations if the government continued to act against its cadres.

It has also accused Dispur of trying to derail the peace initiative by Bodo civil society by killing their members.

Assistant secretary of the outfit’s information and publicity wing, B. Khwlw Khwlw said they have lost cadres during the suspension of operation period.

Despite the losses, they have remained calm for the sake of peace, following the appeal by Bodo National Conference and civil society, he added. “But our patience should not be tested by the government. We warn the government to exercise utmost restraint as we have done so far and reciprocate our offer to create a conducive atmosphere for talks,” he said.

Khwlw Khwlw also denied security forces’ claim that the NDFB faction was involved in a recent attack on a Meghalaya police patrol at Mendipathar and said the outfit does not operate in the neighbouring state.

He also condemned the killing of five of its members in Surenderpur, Gossaigaon and Bedlangmari Dwimuguri in Kokrajhar by security forces.
