TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Territorial integrity of Assam and other north eastern states will not be compromised when the final Naga peace accord is inked, Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today. Mr Sonowal apprised Mr Singh about the situation in the state’s Dima Hasao district where protests against the demand for a “Greater Nagalim” claimed two lives.
“The home minister assured that not a single inch of Assam’s land will be parted with any state. He (Singh) said that the territorial integrity of Assam and other states will be fully protected, and there should be no apprehension in anyone’s mind,” Mr Sonowal told.
The situation in Dima Hasao district continued to be tense for a week following protests over an RSS leader’s reported statement that the district would be included in “Greater Nagalim” or Greater Nagaland as part of the Centre’s proposed solution for the ongoing peace talks with the NSCN- IM.
Two people were killed and about a dozen others injured when police opened fire to disperse a mob at Maibang in the district on Thursday. During a visit to Nagaland on December 8, 2017, the home minister had said that there should be no apprehension or worry as the territorial integrity of no north eastern state would be affected by the final Naga accord.
