'We urged NDA government at the centre to initiate early step to solve the long pending demand of Bodoland separate state through resume tripartite peace talk as soon as possible', he said. He has also warned to take vigorous mass agitation into demand of statehood if early measures are not seen.

The martyr’s day observation has been organized since 1987 every year on June 12 to mark the death anniversary of martyr Sujit Narzary, who lost his life on that day, attacked on ABSU movement activists by anti-Bodoland movement. Over 10,000 gathering from all over the state would be held where former Lok Sabha MP Sansuma Khunggur Bwussmuthiary, Promod Boro, president of ABSU, Dhiren Boro, president NDFB (P) are participating.
