Sinlung Says: What I said has come true, I warned the Assam Government not to go ahead with Renaming NC Hills as it was too controversial, there are too many ethnic tribes who call it their home. The Assam Government moved with Rs. 1000 Crore of scam money and it is a fact that the name Dima Hasao was bought with this money. Now, the other ethnic tribes strive for existence, HTF which was formed because of the renaming and this was Assam Government’s doing...
Now, What will Assam Government do?
