Territorial integrity of Assam and other northeastern states will not be compromised when the final Naga peace accord is inked, Home Minister Rajnath Singh assured Assam Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal today.
Sonowal apprised Singh about the situation in the state’s Dima Hasao district where protests against the demand for a “Greater Nagalim” claimed two lives. “The HM 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,” Sonowal said.
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 will be included in “Greater Nagalim” or Greater Nagaland as part of Centre’s proposed solution for peace talks with NSCN- IM.
