Imphal, April 17 2011:
The Tangkhul Naga Aze Longphang (TNAL), the apex body of the southern part of Ukhrul district has strongly condemned the ambush laid on MLA Wungnaoshang Keishing and his convoy party at Riha village on 15th April.
The unfortunate incident took place while Phungyar A/C MLA Wungnaoshang Keishing was returning after attending a one day constituency level convention on HIV/AIDS which was organised by Tangkhul Aze Katamnao Long at Riha village, said a release signed by Vice Chairman M Raymond and Secretary Sr Jonah of TNAL.
Stating that the ambush was carried out by unidentified underground outfit with devilish intention, the release said such act was perpetrated by the concerned outfit to show their high handedness taking due advantage of the function against the will of peace loving citizens of the area.
Drawing the attention of the organisation concerned involved in the dastardly act to clarify, the release asserted that the people of the area would indulge in severest form of agitation in the event of failure on the part of the concerned outfit to come out openly.
It also demanded immediate ex-gratia and other financial assistance for the victims while urging all concerned not to repeat such act in the future.
