Civil society condemns attack on student leader

Itanagar: The Idu Mishmi Cultural and Literary Society has appealed to the state government to ensure safety of all in the state capital.
This comes in the wake of attack on Unti Umbrey, a student leader from the community.
At a meeting at Roing on Sunday, the society condemned the attack and described the incident as 'unfortunate and shocking'. "We understand that differences within a students' union might have led to the attack.But attack on any individual is never justifiable," said a leader of the society demanding arrest of the culprits and necessary action.
It further appealed to people not to post inflammatory comments on the social media over the incident that might affect the peace and harmony in the state. The Cultural and Literary Society of Mishmi also termed the attack barbaric and cowardly.
"We are deeply hurt by the unfortunate incident and pledge support through democratic means for justice to Unti Umbrey," said a member of the society. The All Tai Khampti Singpho Students' Union of Arunachal Pradesh also joined the chorus.
