ATUM denounces “false” propaganda

IMPGHAL | Oct 6

The president of Aimol Tribe Union, Manipur (ATUM), S. Munthuireng denied the false propaganda created in local newspapers and media houses by one self-proclaimed president named RT. Akhel Aimol about the present scenario of Aimol villages and Pallel areas of Tengnoupal district.

A release said, there have not been any sort of alleged criminal activities like, demands, extortion or ransom upon the villagers of the areas. The claim by RT. Akhel about Aimol villagers being employed in NSCM (IM) is totally baseless. The propaganda is just to put the lives of innocent Aimol villagers at risk, it added.

Aimol community has its own union office at Aimol Tampak with complete staff and election commission. The person, R. T. Akhel was elected as vice-president of Kuki Inpi, Manipur (KIM) on May 17 and he has no relation with Aimol community, said the release.
