They said that since the Bodo Accord has been signed already, hence keeping Daimary in jail will be against the Accord.
“If Ranjan Daimary is not released, then we will stage democratic protests,” Basumatary said.
Daimary was granted interim bail on January 24 by the Gauhati High Court (GHC) for taking part in the signing of the Bodo Peace Accord.

The accord was signed on January 27 in New Delhi.
Refusing to extend his bail period on Thursday, the court said Daimary should surrender first and then he can for a fresh bail plea.
