“Hagrama Mohilary Has Insulted Martyrs of Bodo Andoland,” Says Pramod Boro

Guwahati, February 17, 2020:

Pramod Boro, one of the most prominent Bodo leaders, said that Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) Chief Hagrama Mohilary insulted the martyrs of Bodo Andolan.

“He (Mohilary) was present there with us when the Bodo Accord was signed. He should have asked before signing as to what the Accord had in it. He is speaking this and that for political interest. Doing this is a direct insult to the fighters of the Bodo Andolan,” said Boro.
