New Delhi: Already embarrassed over the continued violence in Assam as the result of Bodo-Non Bodo tussle, the central as well as state government may have to face another problem as Karbi students from Assam have started demanding separate state consisting two districts of Assam.
Over hundred Karbi students on Wednesday staged a protest demonstration with their demands at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Interestingly they were not making slogans against ‘Bangladeshi infiltrators’ or recent killings.

The protest was organized by Karbi Students’ Association, Karbi Students Union Delhi, All India Students Association Karbi Anglong Committee and Revolutionary Youth Association Hill Committee.
