Imphal, January 25 2009:
Naga People's Organisation (NPO), Senapati has strongly condemned the act of the police personnel in arresting four innocent civilians on alleged charge of inciting people to boycott the Republic Day celebration.
Identifying the four civilians who have been arrested and taken into their custody by the police late evening today as Kapani, Kevin, Lokho and Ashiho, NPO president M Dili further clarified that the stand of the NPO is not to boycott the Republic Day celebration as such but to stay away from any function to be attended by the Deputy Commissioner of the District Nidhi Kesarwani.
The NPO has been demanding transferred of the DC from the district charging her with indulges in malpractices and favouritism in the administration of the district.
