GUWAHATI, July 6 � Jadikhe Naisho Hosom (JNH), the apex Dimasa civil society body of Haflong�has appealed to the Government to have a re-look and release the two DHD (J) leaders immediately, hold talks with them and settle the issue.
The organisation further feared that just when the DHD (J) was looking forward to the release of its leader Jewel Gorlosa, the arrest of C-In-C Niranjan Hojai had shown that the Government�s intention was totally different.
�Peace in our district was returning slowly but surely, but after the arrest of Niranjan Hojai, we are apprehensive if we have not been sent back to the pre-surrender days,� said the press release signed by LK Nunisa, general secretary and D Naidang president of the JNH.
�If the boys go back to the jungle, if peace is disturbed, if development is stopped then JHN will not be responsible. If the DHD (J)�s surrender was unprecedented, the JNH�s negotiating acumen was equally unparalleled. If the DHD (J)�s surrender was first of its kind, JNH was the first civil society to have brought an insurgent group overground. But far from appreciating the efforts of the civil society the Government has chosen the wrong path,� alleged the body. �The ball is in the court of the Government now how it plays will determine the future of not just our district, but the entire state of Assam,� the release pointed out.
