Port Blair, Jan 11: Following media reports on alleged exploitation of Jarawa Tribes in Andaman and Nicobar Islands surrounding an old video of Jarawa Dance, the Andaman and Nicobar Police has launched a hunt to trace out the source of the Jarawa Video.
“We are trying to establish the source of the video. Every news channel is quoting Survival International, a London based NGO as sources but we are trying to find out how this video reached Survival International and who has shot the video. Once source is traced necessary action will be taken,” SBS Tyagi the Superintendent of Police of South Andaman told ‘Andaman Sheekha’ today.
Meanwhile the Andaman and Nicobar Police has also expressed shock on how the issue is mis-reported by media as “Cops are forcing jarawa Tribes to dance” and “Cops took bribe from people for Jarawa Safari.”
“We also want to clarify that no policeman is involved in this, which is clearly visible in this video but still various news channels are showing that Policemen took bribe for Jarawa Tourism,” Tyagi added.
Meanwhile political parties are smelling rat in this complete issue. “This news is completely false there were no policeman in the video moreover the timing of releasing this old video to mainstream media raises many doubts. When in Andaman at present people are protesting to keep the Andaman Trunk Road open, this video was released by a group to put pressure on Government to close down the Andaman Trunk Road, the life line of Andaman,” Mr. R Mohan the President of Bharatiya Janta Party’s A & N State unit told ‘Andaman Sheekha’ today.
The BJP has also demanded an inquiry to find out who had actually shot the video. Meanwhile the Director General of A & N Police today raised doubt over the functioning of Survival International and Search NGOs saying that Survival and Search International is an NGO that from time to time raises such issues.
“This is because they collect vast donations in the name of protecting the primitive tribes of the world. What work they actually do is a mystery. The Director Stiphen Cowry and others such employees of the NGO have taken it upon themselves to draw fat salaries and benefits from funds donated for primitive tribes. It is obvious that funds are low and have to be stimulated by such sensational lies,” the Director General of A & N Police Mr. SB Deol said here today.
Deol said that no where in the video clip is a policeman shown taking a bribe.
“The ‘Observer’’, London may be asked to apologise to the A & N Police and to disclose the name of the videographer so that legal action could be initiated against him for recording such a scene and worse still releasing it for further publicity to the media and thereby lowering the dignity of the members of the Jarawa Tribe. In the last 5 years, almost a thousand individuals have been arrested by the A & N Police for illegally interacting with the Jarawa Tribe.,” the DGP added.
