The United Bodo Students' Society (UBSS) has refused the government's invitation to discuss the Arunachal SUMP dispute, stating that any dialogue will proceed only after three specific conditions are satisfied.
The United Bodo Students' Society (UBSS) turned down a recent outreach effort by the state government aimed at resolving the ongoing SUMP controversy in Arunachal Pradesh. The society said it would not engage in talks until its demands are met.
UBSS outlined three pre‑conditions that must be fulfilled before any negotiation can begin. While the exact nature of these conditions was not disclosed, the group emphasized that they are essential for a constructive dialogue.
The rejection adds another layer of complexity to the SUMP row, signalling that the government will need to address the society’s concerns before moving forward with any settlement.
