DHD(J) calls for Dima Hasao Bandh on Jan 3

The Dima Halam Daogah (Joel) calls for 24 hours Dima Hasao bandh starting from 5 AM, January 3 in protest against the non-release of its leaders and members.

The DHD(J) has been demanding release of its Chairman Joel Gorlosa, C-in- C Niranjan Hojai and other members since long.

Phaiprang Dimasa, Vice-Chairman, in a press meet held at designated camp at Red cross, Jatinga argues if Aravinda Rajkhowa and other leader of ULFA could be released on bail then why not the DHD(J) leaders ?

It is to be mentioned here that the DHD(J) had surrendered their arms before the Chief Minister, Assam on October 2, 2009 with the hope of peace talks with government but even after more than one year neither any peace talks nor their leaders are being released.

DHD(J) expresses serious concern over the Govt’s discriminating attitude towards the DHD(J) and threatens for stronger agitation soon.
