Senapati, December 24 2012:
The United Naga Council (UNC) has called 72 hours bandh in all "Naga areas" starting from the midnight of December 26.The UNC said their move to call bandh has been to register their protest against the "communal attacks".
In a statement, UNC stated "We are constrained to reiterate the Naga people's position on the reported manhandling incident at Chandel that the law of the land must act upon the guilty.
Nagas have requested for lifting the bandh and given public statement that left without option we would take our own course of action.
The Govt of Manipur pretends to restore law and order through a police force that refuses to enforce it.
Meanwhile, the insult & humiliation; destruction of personal belongings, commodities and vehicles and physical assault on Nagas continues unabated.
This time it is a direct attack on the celebration of Christmas and Christianity'' .
