RESIGNED NPF MLAS PAY TRIBUTES TO MARTYRS
RESIGNED NPF MLAS PAY TRIBUTES TO MARTYRS
_______________
The three anti-tribal Bills are passed in haste with a clear ploy to avoid any discussion and disturbances by flouting standing norms and procedure. It is with the intention of defending the inalienable tribal land that NPF MLAs have tendered their resignations, said Awangbou Newmai, the president of NPF Manipur.
The NPF leader who addressed the press alongside the four MLAs has said the party is unhappy at the way the State Government of Manipur is looking at the present crisis.
Instead of trying to understand the whole issue and addressing them efficiently, they kept condemning the people. The Government has been claiming that there is a hidden agenda behind the present movement but nothing is hidden, the agenda is being shown. "We don’t want these Bills, and we want the tribal rights and land be safeguarded. It is starkly evident," said Newmai, and questioned the agenda of those defending the Bills.
Taking a dig at the Deputy Chief Minister for using the term ‘black sheep’ to refer the tribal people, Awangbou wanted to know exactly whom he (the Dy CM) was referring to – the protesters or the nine martyrs.
The NPF has insisted that the State Government stop pursuing tribal student leaders who are championing the causes of the tribal and to stop sending commandos after them as if they are criminals. If any warrant has been issued by the State for their arrest, that should immediately be withdrawn as the tribal will not encroach upon the rights and land of other communities, he added.
He also called upon the tribal MLAs to try to understand and share the sentiments of the people and to tender their resignation.
