The Meghalaya police have launched a probe into a poster, purportedly linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), threatening the indigenous communities of the State’s West Garo Hills district to vacate their lands. The district’s Superintendent of Police, Abraham T. Sangma, said a suo-motu case was registered to find out who pasted the “provocative” poster and why. He said that the police found a solitary poster, which was sent for a forensic analysis. “The use of the name of a globally recognised terrorist organisation like ISIS cannot be treated lightly under any circumstances. Marak pointed out that the Garo Hills region of Meghalaya is the ancestral homeland of the Garo people, whose rights over land, culture, and identity are protected under the Constitution of India and established legal frameworks.
