Sjt Mayank Kumar (IPS) and leaders of various Apex Bodies, Social Organization, Students’ Organizations, Women’s Organization & NGOs of different Community of Dima Hasao.
Chairman of TLNC, Shri Frezer Sengyung presided the meeting. The point of discussion solely focused on the subject matter and it was a very democratic meeting no one spoke against any community and religion because it is understandable to everyone that criminals have no boundary. They neither have society nor do have religion. Everyone’s point of view placed in the house was duly respected and honoured.
The told the house that who are trying to destroy us through our youths are especially the outsiders perhaps helping by the non-bonafide citizen of our district, who come, stay here, work as migrant workers and some engaged themselves in the profession like trading, driving etc. without valid documents, their names not registered in the concern Police Station to know them who they are? Where from? Whose son? Under which Police Station they belong, his previous criminal record certified by the concern Thana etc.
And regarding safety and security of our Tribal girls they have them their soft target of being very innocent. They first assassinate their character and compelled them to marry and operate business in her name and bring in more of their people to over number their population against the Tribal Population and capture the whole business establishment which is a threat to the future spectrum of our district. Therefore, it is ourcollectively responsible to take measures to save our district and our youths before completely falls into their evil claws. Our youths are not only the assets of individual family; they are the assets of our district in particular and an assets of our Country as a whole. Our youths are very talented if we collectively allow them to grow in a “Drug Free” and “Crime Free” environment will soon see them shedding sweats working for mankind and some working in the sensitive areas ready to sacrifice their life while protecting our country. So, to provide them healthy environment free from any kind anti-social element orchestrating by those non-bonafide citizens is our moral responsibility.
And also if the present trend of unabated influx of non-bonafide citizen in our district, is allowed to continue, very soon it will put our district to an end to function under the provision of the Sixth Schedule to the constitution of India. Because when the migrants are over number than the Tribal Population the reason to allow to function our Autonomous district under the provision of Sixth Schedule to the Constitution of India cannot be justify, because Sixth Schedule is only meant for tribal majority dominated areas.
