Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma speaks to Hindustan Times about the border dispute with Mizoram and the efforts that were made to ease tensions. Initially, the post was with the Mizoram police, then the post was reclaimed by us because we consider it our territory. The home minister called me to say: “Himanta, dekho, aage mat jaane do (Don't let them advance)”. If we resolve the ULFA issue, then Assam will see final lasting peace. I believe that somehow, if I could ensure some agreement, some peace between Centre and ULFA, then Assam will go to a different level.
