Imphal, December 13 2015:
Continuing its stance against inviting elected members of the State to Naga areas, the United Naga Council (UNC) has objected the decision to invite Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam to Khoupum valley as the chief guest for the upcoming Rani Gaidinliu Birth Centenary cum Golden Jubilee celebration at Thanagong village to be held from December 15 to 18, reports our Senapati correspondent.
The invitation to the Deputy Chief Minister was sent by All Zeliangrong Students' Union (AZSU)-Assam Manipur, Nagaland.
Justifying its stand, the UNC said that it is not opposed to any student body organizing such a grand event and celebration but added that it strongly opposes the decision to invite the Deputy CM who is considered anti-tribal and anti-Nagas by all.
The opposition to the elected members of the Manipur Assembly is all that more at this juncture when the tribals of Manipur have taken a joint decision against the August 31 Bills, which have been dubbed anti-tribals, added UNC, in a statement.
