Apart from separate Bodoland state, the ABSU has been demanding preservation of the Bodo language, traditions and culture.
“Bodo community has been able to establish itself as a powerful tribe through hard work, discipline, honesty and skill. Bodos have emerged as one of the successful tribes of the state and therefore they must play their role in cementing the ties of harmony between different tribes scattered across 33 districts of the state,” added the Chief Minister.
Paying rich tributes to the founder president and secretary of ABSU Baneswar Basumatary and Kanakeswar Narzary resepectively, Sonowal said the student organisation came to life only through the initiatives of those two leaders.
