Kanggui, May 02 2014 : It is very unfortunate that some Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) are trying to create a misunderstanding between two communities without acknowledging the facts in the case of Agriculture Minister Abdul Nasir and ZEO Thoubal, ATSUM has stated.

In a press communiqu� released today, Kakam Haokip, Education Secretary of ATSUM observed that the matter is being blown out of proportion by some unwanted individuals and so it has become pertinent for ATSUM to clarify and justify the facts after proper investigation.

He continued that ATSUM after proper investigation found out that it is a case for construction of EGS centre at Leiphrakpam Laishram Mamang Leikai under Lilong A/C of which the Agriculture Minister is the Chairman of the project and the ZEO/Tbl.

the Member Secretary.

As the Chairman, it is Minister Nasir's duty to rebuke, correct and advise his secretary to follow the guidelines of the Ministry, asserted Kakam Haokip before adding that there might be some misunderstanding and involvement of some vocals from the higher up position but this should not be construed as communal and personal attack on the ZEO.

"It is very official and as a social organization we cannot jump and try to manipulate the case as anti-tribal or communal," pointed out Kakam.

ATSUM then appealed to all the CSOs both in the valley and the hills not to create any communal tinge out of this misunderstanding but help in bring a solution.

ATSUM also requested the concerned authority not to take up any action against the concerned officer.

Kakam further said, "In the name of ATSUM, we must not try to create any communal feelings because ATSUM never interfere in the administration of the state government or any kind of development works which is purely under the purview of the government" .

ATSUM has never been communal in its 40 years of existence and it has never taken a case which does not directly or indirectly affect the tribals of the state and the students' communities in particular, Kakam Haokip added.
