IMPHAL, May 11 - Churachandpur-based Joint Action Committee (JAC) against Anti-Tribal Bills has called a 48-hour total shutdown in all tribal territories of Manipur starting from midnight of May 15.
The shutdown has been called in protest against the alleged indifferent attitude of Manipur Government and its alleged brash and contemptuous conduct towards the tribal people, the JAC said in a statement.
According to the statement of JAC, a joint meeting with various tribal apex bodies/tribal councils held in Churachandpur on Tuesday condemned the decision taken at the all political parties meeting. It said, �To the tribals, the three anti-tribal bills are very much political in nature, the politics of land & politics for survival for the tribals of Manipur.�
