Addressing a press conference here over the matter, Khandu suggested the Demand Committee of Mon and Patkai along with their community based organisations (CBOs), to sit along with other CBOs, intellectuals and youth leaders of the state in this regard in a broader way.

“From state Government side, a panel of Ministers headed by Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein will witness this discussion. As it is a matter of constitution a panel of advocates will also witness it. I am hopeful through discussion it will come to a positive note,” he said.
