SHILLONG: The Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC) held a meeting recently and resolved to organize a public rally at Selsela in April to intensify the demand for Garoland statehood in a democratic way.
The demand for Statehood is in line of Linguistic Act 1956 and State re-organisation Act 1956, the General Secretary of GHSMC Augustine Marak said.
The pressure group also approached the people of the Garo Hills in general and youth of Garo Hills in particularly to support the movement instead of forming the new militant outfits. “We have a constitutional provision to raise our grievances on democratic way, carrying of arms and ammunition is not required.
On behalf of the people of Garoland we appeal our beloved brothers of GNLA, ANVC-B, UALA, LAEF, ASAK, ATF, Matchadu Matchabet, ANLCA, ANCA and other splinter groups to turn to the main stream”, Marak said.
