Meanwhile, ABSU has denied discussing anything on reported Union Territorial Council (UTC), as reported by a section of media.
In a press statement, ABSU president Pramod Boro said UTC debate is nothing but an ill designed and fabricated news.
“There is no official statement made by either the Home Ministry or the movement groups including ABSU, PJACBM and others,” Boro said.
He said that it is a self made ‘design’ to divert the prevailing protest in Assam over the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016.
“It is a conspiracy against the Bodo issue and sentiment of the indigenous people living in the Bodoland area…we appeal to all section of the people to come forward and support for an everlasting peaceful solution of the Bodo issue,” the ABSU president said.
