“For last few days, months and years the APFRA has been creating hue and cry in the society and we are worried that it may create negative impact and thought in the society and it may create differences among the community and tribes of state,” he said.
Before enforcing the APFRA the state government should have tried for legislation and work for correction of the defect statehood bill which was the need of hour, he said.
“It is necessary that our statehood bill is corrected in the line of Nagaland and others states where the tribal has been given proper right on their ancestral property and others inherent property. The state government should have to cautious before doing it seriously,” he said.
Enforcing the APFRA would divide the people and ignite disharmony among the people.
