Guwahati, Dec 24 (IBNS) The governments of India or Assam will never surrender, said Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi condemning the killings of innocent women and children by the Bodo militants, setting off a cycle of violence taking the toll to nearly 67.
The death toll in the National Democratic Front of Bodoland - Songbijit (NDFB-S) attack in Kokrajhar and Sonitpur district rose to 62, taking the total number of people killed in the cycle of savagery to 67 with Bodos now killed in reprisal and others in police firing to quell a protest.
In a press conference here, Gogoi said 21 women were killed in the attack besides children and it is unacceptable. He said the violence occurred mostly in regions bordering the state of Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan.
"The government of India will never surrender," he said, adding that he is in touch with the centre.
He said no government can accept or allow such things to happen.
"It is difficult to say why they were attacked. I do not have a reason behind it too. Innocents were killed, they were women and children. what is this heroism I do not know," said Gogoi.
He said a major operation will be started.
Meanwhile, PM Narendra Modi tweeted: "I spoke to Assam CM Shri Tarun Gogoi & Home Minister Rajnath ji. Rajnath ji will travel to Assam and take stock of the situation."
Assam CM Tarun Gogoi has called a high level security meeting in Guwahati.
