Imphal,July 23 2015:
The Tangkhul Katamnao Long, Imphal (TKLI) and Imphal Tangkhul Shanao Long (ITSL) have expressed regret over the alleged deliberate misinterpretation of Tangkhul women's participation in the protest against the State force brutality and killing of Sapam Robinhood by 'valley based organisations and media' .
In a joint statement, TKLI and ITSL expressed appreciation to Tangkhul women for their unflinching support in all agitation/movement including their participation in the agitation against the killing of Sapam Robinhood.
The two Tangkhul bodies have however appealed to the 'valley-based organisations' concerned to change their approach instead of provoking the sentiment of the tribal and making them participate in the ongoing ILPS demand agitation conditionally or under duress.
