Imphal, December 30 2012:
United Naga Council (UNC) has acknowledged the cooperation and solidarity of the Naga public towards the successful enforcement of the 72 hours bandh called in Naga areas with effect from midnight of December 26 to midnight of December 29 .
In a statement issued by its Publicity Wing, UNC reinterated that the bandh had been called in Naga areas to register protest against the unabated communal attacks on Nagas.
The peaceful and democratic response of the people in spite of the Christmas season and many scheduled community programmes speaks loud and clear of the sentiments of the people.
The unbridgeable differences- historically, culturally, socially and even in religion between the Tribals in Manipur and the Meiteis has been brought out most distinctly by the success of the bandh, the statement added.
