The Centre has directed security forces to take strong action against NDFB militants who killed 11 people in Assam and vowed to foil any attempt by the group to instigate communal riots.
"We have directed the security forces to take strong action against the NDFB militants responsible for the killing of 11 people, including three children. They are instigating people to indulge in riots. We will not allow this to happen," Joint Secretary (North-East) in the Home Ministry Shambhu Singh told reporters here.
Singh said the NDFB-Songbijit group wants to create communal violence in Assam so that it can re-group and strengthen its cadre by taking advantage of the situation as focus of the security forces would divet if there are riots.
"We have asked the state government to ensure communal peace in Assam is not disturbed," he said.
NDFB-Songbijit militants killed 11 people in separate incidents in Kokrajhar district in Assam since last night.

What is NDFB-S?
he National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) is an armed separatist outfit which seeks to obtain a sovereign Bodoland for the Bodo people in Assam, India. It is designated as a terrorist organization by the Government of India.[1]

NDFB claims to be a representative of the Bodo people, who form around 10% of Assam's population.

The promotion of the Roman script for the Bodo language is also a significant demand of NDFB. The group's members are mostly Christians, and are opposed to the use of Devanagari script for the Bodo language.[3]
Besides targeting non-Bodos and the security forces, the Christian-dominated NDFB has also been in conflict with the Hindu/Bathouist-dominated Bodo Liberation Tigers Force (BLTF). The BLTF has supported the security forces against NDFB, polarizing the Bodoland movement along religous lines.[5]
