It may be mentioned that Kathar was arrested in connection with a case in Diphu Police Station in Karbi Anglong.
Addressing a press conference at Hanjanglangso PWD IB, the president of ITPKA, Bokajan Regional Committee, David Rongphar said, “Angtong Engti is a hero of the masses who loves his land. ITPKA expresses its sadness at his arrest.”
ITPKA said arresting such people who fight for the people means breaking those who stand for the people. “The organisation is not supporting the APHLC and is not against the BJP. ITPKA does not associate with any political party.”
In a related development, APHLC staged a dharna in Bokajan demanding the release of Angtong Engti Kathar.
On Sunday evening, Bokajan LA APHLC leaders Klengsarpo Tisso and Pranjal Kro led the protest at Balipathar Nopak Terang village in Sarupathar.
They said the arrest of Kathar was illegal and demanded his early release. APHLC threatened a vigorous agitation if Kathar is not released immediately.
