The Nagaland Assembly on Thursday discussed the border issue with neighbouring Assam. Participating in the discussion on matters of urgent public importance, leader of the Opposition TR Zeliang stated that all interim agreements signed between the governments of Nagaland and Assam was a one-sided agreement.
Zeliang also stressed on the fact that both states must implement status quo in letter and spirit and that fresh agreements must be signed between both the sides.
