People Living On Either Side Of Boundary Have To Work Together With Bonhomie And Brotherhood: Pema Khandu
While addressing the first-ever interactive session on ‘Understanding socio-cultural issues of Bodos in Arunachal’ at the DK Convention Centre in Itanagar, the Chief Minister said that “drawing a boundary line is not the end of the job”.
“This wasn’t possible earlier because of the lack of sincerity of the Congress government and the convoluted approach with which they used to work. They had neither clarity of thought nor any concrete action plan. But the BJP government was determined to make the headway with the resolve of Abhi Nahi Toh Kabhi Nahi,” he said.
The Chief Minister further said that both Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are moving forward with conviction, openness and compassion for greater cultural cooperation between the people of the two states.
“Things have changed drastically since 2014. Peace has come back and development is taking place rapidly,” he pointed out while claiming “step motherly and irresponsible attitude of the Congress” towards the Northeast.
