The release that came a day after the committee’s summit had announced boycott of hill MLAs said, the summit after a deep deliberation, outrightly denounced the imposition of fixed decadal population growth rate for tribal in the State and the subsequent steps taken by the district administrations to reduce the population by deleting some people from census records.
It also clarified that the extreme step of boycotting hill MLAs was taken as their earlier dateline of Oct 1 to publicly declare their stance was ignored.- TSE
