New Delhi: The National Democratic Front of Bodoland (Progressive) has come down heavily on the present Centre-appointed interlocutor PC Haldar and demanded that he be replaced with some senior statesman from the North East like Ranjeet Shekhar Mooshahary or Purno A Sangma, or even SC Jamir or Takam Sanjay.

During their meeting with Union Home Minister P Chidambaram here on Friday, the NDFB alleged that the present interlocutor who is a former Intelligence Bureau chief, has been instigating one faction of the Bodos against the other. Since his appointment two years back, nothing positive has been forthcoming from Haldar’s side, NDFB general secretary Govinda Basumatary said.

“The demand of the Bodos, that of a separate state is a political one and the solution can be found only by a statesman-politician of the stature of Mr Mooshahary or Mr Sangma,” Basumatary said, adding, “Since our demand is a political one we feel the interlocutor should also be from a political background.”

The interlocutor needs to take a certain amount of risk and this is not possible for a person from a bureaucratic or intelligence background, he added.
