Thoubal, January 18 2014 :
The Anal Naga civil organisations have strongly denounced the inclusion of Manipuri film actress Momoko assault inci-dent at Chandel by one Li- vingstone Anal in the BA 6th Semester syllabus.
Talking to media persons today at Panchai village in Chandel District, Wng Koh-ring Victor, president Anal Naga Taangpi (ANTA), apex body of the Anal tribe, said that it was very unfortunate to learn that the State Government and the Education de- partment of Manipur have ap-proved inclusion of Momoko assault incident in the Political Science text book "Indian Government and Politics" for BA 3rd Yr (6 semester) .
The book authored by one Prof Naorem Rabei Singh included the unfortunate assault incident of a Manipuri actress Momoko by S/S Lt Col Li-vingstone of NSCN-IM, Vic- tor said.
He further said that a meeting of Anal civil organisa- tions including students and women bodies was held on Jan 17 at the office of the Anal Students' Union, Pan-chai village regarding the matter.
The meeting strongly denounced the State Govern- ment, Education Department and Prof N Rabei for inclusion of the incident of Momoko assault in a text book.
The meeting also adopted a resolution to demand punitive action against the author of the text book Prof N Rabei Singh and demand to clarify the intention for inclusion of the incident in the syllabus as there are more than thousands of incidents and cases of killing, rape, torture, etc, the ANTA president said.
The meeting also strongly opposed illegal land encroachment of Thangbung Minou Village near Moreh for construction of New Township by District administration Chandel, Industries Minister in collusion with one Lalkholun Haokip of Haolenphai Village.
He further warned that if the State Govt fails to take up necessary action positively, the civil organisations of the Anal tribe will launch intense forms of agitation.
