“Statehood Day is a historic occasion that marks Arunachal Pradesh’s journey of progress and development. The deliberate boycott of such a significant event is an insult to the people and the sacrifices made by our forefathers.

The union stressed that swift and strict action is necessary to deter future anti-state activities.
“Failure to act against such elements will encourage further unlawful activities in the future. It is imperative that the state government takes immediate steps to safeguard Arunachal Pradesh’s peace and security,” AAPSU stated.
