East Mojoon September 13 reports that ahead of by elections for Khonsa West constituency in Arunachal Pradesh, a note is being circulated by an insurgent group asking people to vote for Phawang Lowang, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate. The seat was left vacant after the killing of Tirong Aboh, who was the sitting Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the seat in May 2019. The circular reads that no group or individual should put up a candidate other than the present one (Phawang Lowang) as he belongs to the Ollo community, a Naga sub tribe which resides primarily in Tirap District. The circular warned that “Failing to comply with this warning, serious action would be taken and if necessary, even up to eternal punishment”. The date of the by election is yet to be announced.
