Meanwhile, South East Asia Cultural Organisation- SEACO has stated that those who stand against the ongoing movement for protection of indigenous people are enemies of the state.
During the ongoing movement for implementation of Inner Line Permit System for indigenous people, a student namely Sapam Robinhood had sacrificed his life for the cause, said Laishram Kennedy Khuman, Secretary General of SEACO in a release.
Bandh and general strikes have already affected the economy of the state. While, without any cause bandh and general strike at this critical hour of the people of Manipur by some group of people and organisation is a distraction to the popular demand for the protection of indigenous people, it added.
