General secretary of ASDC Jotson Bey said, “There should be no chaos in Karbi Anglong in the name of transferring of land to Meghalaya and we should not bring any communal clash in the bordering areas as Karbi, Nepali, Khasi-Jaintia, Kharwang and Tiwa are living together since time immemorial. According to a section of newspapers, a few Khasi Kharwang leaders from Karbi Anglong have approached the Meghalaya government to transfer land to Meghalaya.”
Bey also requested the leaders of Khasi-Jaintia and Khasi-Kharwang living in Karbi Anglong not to approach the Meghalaya government on the matter of transferring land to Meghalaya.
“We also submitted a memorandum to the chief minister of Assam regarding border issues as he has assured us to discuss the matter with all parties.”
