Newly elected Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chief Pramod Boro has sparked controversy by sending a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking the unconditional release of all jailed Bodo insurgent leaders and founder chairman of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) Ranjan Daimary, who was responsible for the October 2008 serial explosion case. Daimary is currently serving a life term at Guwahati Central Jail.
A delegation led by Pramod Boro met Union home minister Amit Shah in Guwahati on Saturday and submitted a letter of appreciation with a request to expedite the implementation of the clauses of the Bodo peace Accord in letter and spirit.
“It would be meaningful if other imprisoned leaders, including Ranjan Daimary and his colleagues are freed as per the relevant provisions of the BTR Accord”, Bodo said while speaking to the media after the meeting.
