There is an atmosphere of anger in the whole country regarding Manipur violence. A bandh will be organized in the tribal region of Gujarat on Sunday in protest against caste violence and atrocities against women in Manipur. This information was given by a tribal leader. The state’s opposition Congress has decided to support the bandh to protest against the ‘failure’ of the ruling BJP government to control the situation in the northeastern state.
Several tribal organisations, including the ‘Adivasi Ekta Manch’, have come together to call for a bandh in the tribal-dominated districts of Gujarat. Tribal leader Prafulla Vasava, who recently resigned from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), said that a bandh would be observed in the tribal areas of Gujarat on Sunday on the call of the tribal community to protest against the violence and atrocities against women in Manipur, the urine incident in Madhya Pradesh and the atrocities on tribals in Gujarat. He said that the bandh has not been called under the banner of any one organization or political party, but with the consent of various tribal and other socio-political organizations.
Gujarat Congress spokesperson Manish Doshi said that several tribal organizations have called for the bandh to protest against the stand of the central government on Manipur. He requested the Congress to support the bandh and the party has decided to fully support it. BJP is responsible for the situation in Manipur.
