He was clarifying the misunderstanding created by the few Assam media on the ILP drive.

He also requested the writers from of the Assam counterpart, not use the Dafla word in their writing. The word is derogatory and has been removed years ago constitutionally.
Tolum said that the “Bopia” (Headgear) is a symboll of dignity for the entire Nyishi tribe and so NES has come up with an idea that from this conference all the new president will have to wear it so as to preserve the culture and tradition of our tribe.
Addressing the people, Home Minister Bamang Felix also informed delegates and guest from Assam that the drive will continue as it is framed by state law for the protection of indigenous. “90 % of crimes in the state are executed by the criminal from outside the state who has illegally entered,” he said while requesting ASS president for peace and tranquility in the border area.
“We may be divided by tradition, boundary and language but we are socially united as a good neighbor and a great citizen of India,” he added.
Calling for people’s participation in all round development, Felix said that we are failing in development aspects due to land compensation trend. He requested the NES to create more awareness among the people to avoid land compensation and demand for better road and other developments in the district.
He said that without the people’s participation for self employment the government is also helpless. “We should not wait for the government to provide all the government jobs, rather go for business and entrepreneurship” he said while informing that most of the world country is engaged in providing self employment.
Felix also said that most of the constable post has been left out not only in the Nyishi dominated district but in the entire districts of the state. Many post has been left out due to less qualified and not interested youths, he said.
In the meantime he also informed that the Chief Minister Pema Khandu has assured for a bridge which will connect Seppa town and New Seppa for the peoples comfort. He asked all the legislators from the constituency to include East Kameng Social Welfare and Culture Organization (EKSWCO) follow the matter and implement in a creative and effective way for public welfare.

“NES is the part of ASS which I openly declare for the welfare work of both the community of the state,” he further said. Rajbongshi also assured to work for the indigenous rights and for the state and country as a whole. “We will maintain peace by love in heart not by armors in hands,” he added.
While praising the culture, tradition, language, foods and attire of the tribe, Rajbongshi also welcomed the NES for any suggestion relating to the preserving of the tradition & culture and to generate a common script.
