Itanagar: Claiming that many Tibetan refugees settled in Arunachal Pradesh have obtained Scheduled Tribes certificates, the Arunachal Civil Society (ACS) has demanded the state government to cancel all those certificates.
In a memorandum to the Chief Minister on Tuesday, the ACS alleged infiltration of Tibetan nationals in the guise of businessmen, who permanently settle down in different parts of the state.
“It is difficult to identify these refugees because of their religious and ethnic similarities with the local Monpas, Membas or Sherdukpens,” the ACS said, and urged the chief minister to look into the matter seriously.
“The state government should immediately constitute an expert committee to study and find out the whole gamut of Tibetan refugee issue,” it said.
ACS further demanded to initiate immediate steps to abrogate ‘Any Naga Tribe’ used for the tribal communities in Arunachal Pradesh in the Constitution and the State of Arunachal Pradesh Act, 1986. (PTI)
