148-page report containing detailed recommendations to the AICC. In May 2017, Laskar was appointed as All India Congress Committee (AICC) Minority Department's Observer for Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram. On 15 October 2017, Laskar submitted his "interim report" to the AICC. He will submit his final report to the AICC in January 2018 for Meghalaya and Nagaland and in October 2018 for Mizoram. Earlier in February 2017, Laskar was appointed as the Observer of AICC Minority Department for Manipur Legislative Assembly elections to coordinate the election campaign in the 60 Assembly constituencies of the Indian state of Manipur. On 9 April 2017, he submitted his report on the Manipur elections to the AICC. Recently, Laskar has been very vocal about alleged harassment of religious minorities, especially Christians, in India and alleged attacks on Churches. He has also been vocal about what he terms as "discrimination meted out by the Modi Government against the minorities". He has also criticized the Presidential candidate of NDA Ram Nath Kovind over his alleged remark terming Islam and Christianity as alien. He is a critic of the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2016, which, he claims, can change the demography of sparsely populated states of Northeast India such as Meghalaya, Nagaland and Mizoram. He claims that the BJP is "dreaming" about coming to power in Meghalaya with the support of NPP. However, he claims that BJP-NPP alliance will not succeed in Meghalaya. He even claims that the BJP's increased profile in Meghalaya will actually indirectly benefit the Congress. Laskar is known for his good relations with the Church leaders of North East India. Recently, Laskar has been working in close cooperation with Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma. Laskar-Lotha "Debate" In response to the allegations of corruption against him by the National Secretary of BJP Scheduled Tribe Morcha Hayithung Bill Lotha, Meghalaya Chief Minister Mukul Sangma threatened to take legal action against Lotha. In response, Lotha dared Mukul Sangma for a five hour long "open debate". Immediately, Laskar came to the defence of Chief Minister Mukul Sangma asking Lotha to debate with him for ten hours on the policies of BJP and the Congress on tribals and minorities instead of the Chief Minister Mukul Sangma. Laskar argued that the Chief Ministe Mukul Sangma should not be distracted from his "work of development of the state". In response, Lotha said that he is ready for a two day long debate
