'National Party’ status for NPP is a great achievement for the people of the entire northeast and not just his party, said party chief Conrad K Sangma.
Sangma, the convener of the convention, said the parties will send a delegation to meet PM Modi and President Ram Nath Kovind seeking to scrap the citizenship amendment bill passed in the Lok Sabha on January 8.
Explaining of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, Madhav said that during the Partition, the people of Assam remained safe due to the leadership of Gopinath Bordoloi.
