"At all cost, law of the land will prevail. I hereby send a warning bell to all those anti-social elements not to disturb the sanctity of peace and harmony or disturb the balance of law and order. You will be outnumbered by law abiding citizens and there would be no place on this earth for you," Chief Minister Nabam Tuki announced in his address on the occasion of the 66th Independence Day.
Describing Arunachal Pradesh as an island of peace, Tuki advocated that the rule of law must prevail and it is the responsibility of the state government to ensure safety of its people and their properties.

Such dissents could be solved across the table through discussions, he said and called upon the people to stand united against these challenges.
