NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FRONT OF BODOLAND- IK SONGBIJIT (NDFB-S)

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC FRONT OF BODOLAND- IK SONGBIJIT (NDFB-S)




Following a split in the National Democratic Front of Bodoland- Ranjan Daimary faction (NDFB-R), another rebel group was formed, the National Democratic Front of Bodoland- Songbijit, headed by I. K. Songbijit. Songbijit was the earlier ‘chief’ of Bodoland Army (the armed wing of NDFB-R). I K Songbijit announced the formation of a nine member “interim national council” on 20 November 2012, with Songbijit as its self-proclaimed “interim president”. On 8 August 2012, the Myanmar-based rebel leader who, actually belongs to the Karbi tribe, called off the 1 August 2011 unilateral ceasefire declared by NDFB-R and has emerged as the most lethal group.
