Here is a concise summary of the 9-page memorandum submitted by the Arunachal ST Bachao Andolan Committee (ASTBAC) to the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh on May 22, 2026:

Core Objective: To protect the constitutional safeguards, indigenous identity, and demographic security of the genuine tribal people of Arunachal Pradesh against illegal infiltration and documentation fraud.

Key Demands:
1. APST Re-Verification: Immediate statewide verification of all Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe (APST) certificates using high-security, biometric-linked systems to eliminate fake lineage claims.
2. Non-APST Offspring Loopholes: Strict legal and administrative safeguards regarding inheritance, land rights, and tribal status for offspring of APST women married to non-APST individuals.

3. ILP Digitalization: A complete overhaul of the Arunachal Pradesh ILP Guidelines, 2026. This includes setting up a dedicated ILP Department, live QR/biometric tracking, and CCTV-monitored border checkposts.

4. Statewide Detection Drives: Establishing district-level verification committees (comprising administration, police, CBOs, and Gaon Burahs) to flag illegal infiltration and forged identity networks.

Ultimatum: The committee demands an official, live-telecasted consultative meeting with the government within 6 days. Failure to respond will compel indigenous organizations to launch intensified, peaceful public protest movements.

"This is a clear message from our Spokesperson, Tana Tamar Tara Sir."

​"Our Chairman had stated that if our memorandum does not achieve success within the 6-day timeframe given, a bandh call could be made at that time.

​However, 'democratic means' does not strictly imply a bandh call. It could mean anything—it could be a rally, or it could be a dharna (sit-in protest). Therefore, the public should not be confused; there is no bandh call right now. Whenever a bandh call is officially declared, everyone will be informed.

​Declaring a bandh call is not an easy task. We should not encourage bandh calls, no matter what. In fact, we ourselves discourage bandhs, but sometimes it happens out of sheer compulsion.
​I would like to make a request to our government and our Honorable Chief Minister—please advise your team and your administration not to take such extreme measures.

​Instead of bringing in security forces from outside and spending resources on that, invite us. Call the top leaders. Sit down together over a cup of tea and a samosa, and discuss the issues!
​When will this happen? If it takes a year, let it take a year; if it takes six months, let it take six months. Doing this will solve everything! There will be no need for a dharna, no need for a rally, and no need for a bandh call."
