Imphal, May 23 2011:
Maram Hoho and Thangal Hoho have expressed resentment over the raid conducted at Maram-Thangal region office by a team of 5 Assam Rifles led by one Maj Tripathi.
A press release said, "The hohos are constrained to observe that the draconian attitude adopted by 5 AR has violated the positive spirit of ceasefire in the context of Indo-Naga peace dialogue moving forward smoothly" .
It added, when the peaceful tranquillity is prevailing in the area, the offensive attempts to provoke the situation and thereby create fears in the minds of the people that may ultimately lead to alienate general public from maintaining good relationship.
The hohos also urged all concerned to maintain the essence of maturity and restraint in the days ahead as part of the confidence building measure.
