ITANAGAR, Aug 21: Following bombardment of criticism in social networking sites that IMWA is backing, and indirectly giving shelter to non-ILP holders under Itanagar market, the Itanagar Market Welfare Association (IMWA) on Tuesday clarified that it only appealed to AAPSU through media that while carrying out the drive, ensure that genuine businessmen with valid ILPs are not harassed in the name of ILP checking.
Stating that it wholeheartedly supports the Operation Clean Drive launched by AAPSU, IMWA president Yumlam Achung, talking to newspersons, recalled a few past incidents in which some organization members allegedly manhandled and harassed businessmen on pretext of ILP checking.
The AAPSU recently launched the drive to thwart possible infiltration of refugees into the state in the wake of publication of final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam.
Achung said that the motive behind convening the press meet is to clear the misconception among public that IMWA is against the AAPSU move.
Categorically reiterating that it fully endorsed the ILP drive by the apex student body and district administration, the association informed that following publication of the final draft it also conducted a few ILP checking drive within its jurisdiction and detected more than 35 violators, who were later handed over to police.
The IMWA team further assured that they are keeping a close watch on movement of suspected people and their activities in the market areas and is always ready to jump in to help the district administration and AAPSU in their effort to drive out the undocumented immigrants from the state.
