The Union Home Ministry to appoint interlocutor on constitutional status demand of Rabha, Mising, Tiwa
The assurance came after the Home Minister met delegations of the Rabha, Mising and Tiwa communities in New Delhi in the presence of Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
Assam Minister Ranoj Pegu was also present. The move is being seen as a significant step towards addressing the constitutional aspirations of the three indigenous groups. Welcoming the decision, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma expressed gratitude to the Union Home Minister, calling the assurance “deeply reassuring and heart-warming.”
For his part, the Home Minister said he had listened to the concerns raised by community representatives and assured them that their demands would be addressed.
“The Ministry of Home Affairs will soon appoint a senior official to work towards an amicable and lasting solution,” Shah said.
The demand for constitutional status has been a long-pending issue for the Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council, Mising Autonomous Council and Tiwa Autonomous Council, which are currently statutory bodies constituted by the Assam government.
BJP steps up Assam poll strategy as party;s newly appointed working president Nitin Nabin attends state executive meet
Assam BJP president Dilip Saikia said the party has set a target of securing over one crore votes in the 2026 Assembly elections
Addressing party workers, Nabin recalled his association with Assam since 2009, when he visited the state as a BJP Yuva Morcha leader.
He said the BJP’s focus on the Northeast dates back to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, who believed the region’s development was essential for national progress.
Nabin, who is likely to take over as BJP national president by Feb 2026, criticised Congress, alleging that during its rule land rights were compromised and central funds failed to reach beneficiaries.
Within weeks of Nabin taking the charge -- he will lead the saffron outfit for polls in key states such as Assam (now under BJP), West Bengal (under Trinamool), Tamil Nadu (under DMK) and Kerala (under CPI-M led LDF).
