Manipur Violence: Tribal Belt In Gujarat To Observe Bandh On July 23
A bandh will be observed in Gujarat’s tribal belt on Sunday in protest of ethnic violence and atrocities against women in Manipur, news agency PTI reported citing a tribal leader. According to a party spokesperson, the opposition Congress has decided to support the bandh in protest of the ruling BJP’s "failure" to control the situation in the north-eastern state. Several tribal outfits, including Adivasi Ekta Manch, have joined forces to call for a shutdown in Gujarat’s tribal-dominated districts.
"On Sunday, a bandh will be observed in the tribal belt in Gujarat as per the call given by the tribal community to protest against violence and atrocities against women in Manipur; Madhya Pradesh urination incident, and atrocities on tribals in Gujarat," said tribal leader Praful Vasava, who recently resigned from Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), PTI quoted him as saying.
He stated that the call for a shutdown was made with the consensus of various tribal and other socio-political organisations, rather than under the banner of any single organisation or political party.
