SENAPATI, April 25 (NNN): The apex Naga organisation of Senapati district has raised strong objection to the bandh being imposed in Senapati district as part of the ongoing `total bandh` imposed by All Zeliangrong Students Union (AZSU), Zeliangrong Youth Front (ZYF) and Zeliangrong Students Union, Manipur (ZSUM) demanding the release of school girl Alice Kamei.
Almost the entire National Highway 2 ( previously NH-39) in Manipur falls in Senapati district.
On Thursday, the Naga Peoples` Organisation (NPO) said the on-going `Total Bandh` in Senapati district called by AZSU, ZYF and ZSUM has disrespected the decision and public notification of the NPO.
According to the NPO, the public notification stated that in pursuance of the resolution number 7 of the `general body meeting` of the NPO held on June 28, 2011, any organization or sub-ordinate bodies will not be allowed to organize any form of agitation without the consent of the apex body (NPO). “Therefore, it is for public consumption that the said bandh is irrelevant in Senapati district and no such bandh is accepted in the district,” the NPO asserted today.
However, NPO said it has also raised its voice against the `kidnapping` of Alice Kamei allegedly by RPF/PLA group. The NPO demanded for the immediate intervention of the state government for the safe release of the `young innocent student girl`.
“The prolong silence of the government over the matter is concerning and that, the NPO will be forced to fully endorse and join the said ongoing agitation physically for the release of Alice Kamei and her friend,” the NPO stated.
