TURA: People from different walks of life in East Garo Hills will hold a protest at Williamnagar on Thursday over the arrest of 83-year-old jesuit priest last week.
Rev. Fr Stan Swamy, who has worked for the poor and downtrodden tribals of Jharkhand and helped mobilise the people to protect their land from the big mining companies that are pushing through for mining in tribal areas, was taken into custody by NIA officials who accused him of collaboration with anti-national elements.
There is palpable anger across the Northeastern region against the central; government over this inhuman arrest of an ailing priest.
