TMWS Condemns Attack on AAPSU Members at Bordumsa, Demands Immediate Arrest of Culprits
CHANG LANG, September 4: The Tangsa Mung Welfare Society (TMWS) has strongly condemned the reported attack on members of the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) during the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) claim and objection hearing process at the ADC Office in Bordumsa.
According to the TMWS press release, some AAPSU members, accompanied by members of the All Changlang District Students’ Union and engaged in SIR duties in the Bordumsa-Diyun areas, were allegedly brutally attacked by miscreants belonging to the Chakma-Hajong community during the hearing process.
The TMWS termed the incident a serious matter and strongly condemned what it described as a “heinous attack” on AAPSU members. The organisation said that an attack on student members working for the interests of indigenous people was an attack on the wider indigenous community of Arunachal Pradesh.
Expressing solidarity with the AAPSU team, TMWS endorsed the stand taken by AAPSU and other indigenous community members of the Bordumsa-Diyun area. It demanded that the Changlang District Administration and Police immediately arrest the perpetrators and book them under relevant sections of law.
The organisation also sought adequate security for AAPSU members engaged in SIR duties and for indigenous activists in the Bordumsa-Diyun area.
TMWS further appealed to the State Government and the Election Commission of India to ensure that the SIR exercise remains free, fair and transparent, with strict scrutiny to prevent the inclusion of bogus or ineligible names in electoral rolls.
Meanwhile, the society appealed to all indigenous communities in Changlang and across Arunachal Pradesh to remain united and maintain peace. It urged people not to fall prey to provocation and called for support to the AAPSU team, while also wishing the injured members a speedy recovery.
