The Congress committee Saturday submitted a memorandum to party president Sonia Gandhi through AICC general secretary Avinash Pandey in the district headquarters Diphu demanding a separate Karbi Anglong.
Another organisation Karbi Anglong Autonomous State Demand Committee (KAASDCOM), which has since 1986 been demanding an autonomous state within Assam under Article 244(A), also submitted a memorandum to Pandey for Sonia.
The AICC general secretary along with APCC president Bhubaneswar Kalita held a meeting with the district Congress members and promised to apprise the party high command about their demand.
Condemning the torching of the district Congress office during the violence this week, Pandey appealed for peace pointing out problems could be solved through the democratic process.
