Kharlukhi stated,”We have taken so many issues like for example-ILP has been a demand for more than 40 years right from the time I was a student leader. At least My party who led the government passed the resolution (in State Assembly). Even, the demand for inclusion for Khasi Garo language in the 8th schedule and we passed a resolution in the assembly showing that we are serious, in the border issue we are serious because we know how much our people suffer in the border.”
