Imphal, August 30 2015 :
Various Ukhrul based civil bodies have warned of laun-ching intense form of demo- cratic agitation if the ADCs of Chandel and Tamenglong are not formed by Sept 7 .
Vehemently condemning the deliberate and inordinate delay in the council formation at Chandel and Tamenglong districts, Ukhrul based Tang-khul civil organizations fer- vently urged upon the Congress led SPF Government to respect the sentiment and aspirations of the tribals.
In a joint statement, Tang-khul Naga Long, Tangkhul Shanao Long, Tangkhul Naga Wungnao Long, Tangkhul Naga Aze Longphang, Tang-khul Naga Ato Longphang, Tangkhul Naga Zingtun Longphang and Tangkhul Naga Zingsho Longphang said the Democratic Alliance of Chandel and Tamenglong is formed by two political parties viz the NPF and BJP with clear majority to form council house and had staked claim on many occasions.
However, without any reason whatsoever the Congress led SPF Government had deliberately trampled upon the democratic rights of the people which amounts to murder of democracy.
While seriously condemning the alleged malicious intent of Okram Ibobi Singh and Gaikhangam for such unwarranted actions, the Tangkhul civil organizations warned that any further suppression of democratic rights of the tribals shall not be tolerated in any manner and they will not remain a mute spectator.
The Tangkhul bodies then appealed to all those people at the helm of affairs to rectify the anomalies committed by them immediately and to take corrective measures in the interest of one and all.
