HMAR STUDENTS APPEAL FOR PEACE IN LOWER ASSAM

The Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) expressed deep concern on the escalation of ethnic violence between the Bodo tribals and Muslim community in Lower Assam since last week. The ethnic violence has already resulted in the lost of many innocent lives, destruction of property, uprooting of many homes and displacing thousands of persons.

The Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) appeals to both sides to show utmost restraint and to try to resolve the ethnic conflict on humanitarian considerations. Knowing that violence is never a lasting solution, we earnestly appeal for an amicable settlement of the conflict.

Apart from emphasizing the urgent need for providing food and shelter, rehabilitation and resettlement of those affected by the conflict, the Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) also urges the Government of Assam and the Government of India to immediately take pro-active steps to stop not only the ethnic conflict but also to effectively address the factors that triggered the mayhem.

 

On behalf of the Hmar Students’ Association,
