With Bodoland Agreement, Modi govt initiated peace in Assam: HM Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah laid foundation stone for second medical college in Guwahat, nine law colleges and for 'Batadrava Than' at an event in Assam's Kamrup on December 26.

At the event, HM Shah said, "There was a time when separatists used to give arms in the hands of the youth in these states (Northeast).

Almost all armed groups have joined the mainstream and the startups launched by youth are competing with other startups globally." "By signing the Bodoland Territorial Region agreement, the Modi govt has initiated the process of establishing peace in Assam.

Bodo youths who had taken up arms have now joined the mainstream," he added.
