Senapati, December 28 2012:
United Naga Council (UNC) has categorically stated that the Government of India is waiting for the communal clashes in Manipur.
In a statement, UNC observed that the 'inefficient dealing' of New Delhi whenever any tense situation crops up in Manipur speaks volumes.
"It has been for quite a long time the Government of India is waiting for the communal clashes in Manipur," accused UNC.
In the same breath, UNC also said that though Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has been tagged as the most communal Chief Minister of India, it is actually Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh who should be called the most communal Chief Minister of India.
UNC also appealed to all the 72-hour 'Naga area' bandh supporters not to indulge in anti-social activities.
"We appeal everyone to be democratic and peaceful while enforcing the 72-hour bandh because our movement is purely a political one," added UNC.
It clarified that the 72-hour bandh is never a counter-bandh to the Chandel incident.
"Ours is a demand for an early Alternative Arrangement for the Nagas of Manipur, outside the Government of Manipur, pending settlement of the Indo-Naga political issue," UNC said.
Accusing CM Ibobi for his alleged failure to provide security to the stranded tribal people on Christmas shopping in Imphal, UNC asserted, "A large number of security personnelwhat is?" UNC asked.
The Naga body further said that the Manipuri film actress assault case could rock the Manipur legislative Assembly but when tribal girls were raped as in the cases of mass rape of Hmar women in Churachandpur district and the Tamenglong chilli vendor rape case, the State Government of Manipur was not as vigour and vocal as in the case of Manipuri film actress assault case.
"Series of Cabinet meetings could be held.
All political parties meeting was convened for a mere assault or alleged molest case of a Manipuri film actress but when tribal women were raped nothing was done by the Manipur Government.
If this is not communal, what can be more communal?", UNC wondered.
