Three outfits in Assam, All Bodo Students’ Union (ABSU), NDFB(P) and PJACBM, which launched an indefinite hunger strike on Friday in demand of a separate Bodoland state, said on Sunday that they would not end the strike till they get a positive response from the Centre. “We want to send a strong message to the Centre that we are determined to continue our indefinite hunger strike till both the state and central governments respond positively,” ABSU president Pramod Boro said.
