Temjen Imna Along, the Nagaland BJP unit chief and minister of higher education and tribal affairs, praised Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, calling him a “Super CM.”
He went on to reaffirm his faith in Sarma, saying that with him at the helm, any issue(s) between Nagaland and Assam could be resolved.
Speaking on the sidelines of an event in Mariani, Along stated that both states are in talks to resolve border issues under the leadership of the “Super CM” and Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio.
Despite the fact that the case is still before the Supreme Court, he believes that the people of the two states can resolve it because both state governments are cooperating with each other. He also stated that the border situation is currently peaceful and devoid of conflict.
Nagas and Assamese people live in harmony, he said. “Nagaland was carved out of Assam. Assam is like our elder brother. So there is no issue between Assam and Nagaland that cannot be solved,” Along said.
He later took to Twitter saying the Assam CM “has always played a pivotal role in fostering brotherhood and promoting unity amongst the northeastern states of India.”
“The Assam-Nagaland border issue will also be resolved in the best interest of the people of both the states,” Along tweeted.
