DIMAPUR, JULY 10 : The Naga People’s Organization (NPO) has strongly condemned the attempt to assault the General Secretary of COPTAM by some unidentified persons on 28th June, 2011 at north AOC, Imphal. Such act of causing harm to Tribal leaders by any communal forces is uncalled for and unjustifiable, stated a press note issued by M. L Markson, President, NPO.
“It is an attempt by some anti-tribal elements to sabotage the genuine efforts and demand of the Tribal Rights in Manipur”, the press note stated while demanding from the State Government to book those responsible at the earliest without which safety of the Tribal leaders will not be compromised.
While endorsing the movement of the COPTAM, the NPO expressed resentment over the incident and suspected some anti-tribal elements behind such attempts to derail the Tribal movements against State Government’s policy to deny rights of the Tribal in Manipur.
“The birth-rights of the Tribal to protect its constitutional rights, identity, land, resources, political and social rights can never be denied by the State Government. For which, the tribal in Manipur will collectively and unceasingly struggle together until the due rights are achieved”.
