To,
Dear
Editor
Please
do release the following news item which is being send by the
President of Hmar Students’ Association, Barak Valley, Assam on 12
July 2011.
The
Hmar Students’ Association has strongly deplore and condemn the
attempted vilification and smear campaign unleashed by several
dailies in the backdrop of the unfortunate killing of Shri. Babul
Rongmai, Chairman, Barak Valley Hill Tribes’ Dev. Council. The
report that this killing was a pre-meditated plan so as to shift the
blame for the murder on Rongmai Nagas is highly objectionable and
despicable. The students’ body smells a deep-rooted conspiracy to
malign the image of the Hmar people and would like to question these
dailies where they received such baseless report. Moreover, the name
of the alleged killer mentioned as Blinkson Hmar is fictitious and
fabricated. Such communal overtone and attempted smear campaign
against the Hmar community is totally uncalled for and hence
condemnable.
On
the contrary we urged the Govt. of Assam to conduct an impartial
inquiry to find out the real culprit behind this dastardly killing.
We the students’ body deeply mourn the demise of Shri. Babul
Rongmai and offered our heartfelt condolence to his near and dear
ones.
However,
we urged those dailies not to publish baseless allegation for the
sake of peace and tranquility among the various ethnic groups in
Barak Valley region.
