Imphal, September 22 2015:
Tribal Youth Council, Manipur (TYCM) has strongly condemned the "raid carried out" by the Manipur Police Commandos at Berean Lodge, Deulahland, in search of the Executive Members of the Tribal Frontal Organisation, ATSUM and ANSAM.
In a press note, TYCM termed the incident "unfortunate" and pointed out that police forces are supposed to oversee law and order problem instead of executing such "unexpected raid" .
The council said that the Government of Manipur should ensure the constitutional right of freedom to every community without bias.
"Such attempt to arrest tribal student leaders will never solve the problems prevailing in the State but instead it will add fuel to the burning fire", said the press note.
TYCM observed that such attitude of the police force after the killing of nine tribal persons in Churachandpur still wanted to escalate "communal disharmony in the state" .
