How to create categories for custom posts

I have created custom post type for my wordpress website where i need category option for custom post type. I have used

register_post_type('specialissues',array(
        'supports'=>array('title','editor','thumbnail','excerpt'),
        'has_archive'=>true,
        'public'=>true,
        'labels'=>array(
            'name'=>'Special Issues',
            'add_new_item'=>'Add New Special Issue',
            'edit_item'=>'Edit Special Issue',
            'all_items'=>'All Special Issue',
            'singular_name'=>'Special Issue'
        ),
        'menu_icon'=>'dashicons-megaphone',
        'taxonomies'=> array( 'category' )

    ));

Using this category option is appear in my custom post type but shows all others default post category also. I want separate category option for my new custom post type. Is there any way to achieve this.
