In a press release, BJP Mandal president N.T. Mongko Chang claimed that after thorough enquiry, it was found out that the attack was “purely intentional”.

The release further stated that such ‘act of terror’ was a serious threat to the recently adopted resolution for peace keeping during the consultative meet held with tribal  leaders, various student federations and factions. BJP unit urged the investigating agency to immediately bring to book those responsible and deliver justice to restore the sense of security among the public.

The union has demanded that those responsible cadres should not go unpunished, urge the authority of NSCN (K) to promptly investigate and deliver exemplary action.
