Imphal, Dec 7: The Tangkhul Frontal Organisations (TFOs) have set a 48-hours ultimatum to Manipur government to book the culprits for meted out atrocities on the three persons from Tangkul community heading to Ukhrul from Imphal.
“It is learnt that the victims were stopped at Sawombung by 30-40 Meira Paibis and inquired their identities. Thereby, produced their Aadhaar card and thus verified. However, before they were relieved, one gypsy with 5 armed men came and took them to a place of about 5 minutes travel distance from the place where they were stopped initially. Then, they were kept separately at distance, interrogated and blamed as an informant of Kukis, beaten severely and threatened to kill by pointing their guns saying their bodies will be disposed at the river. Then, they were again taken to another location and continue terrorising them and asked to run which they refused, saying they have done nothing wrong. The atrocious act inflicted to the innocent citizens is inhumane and unwarranted,” the TFOs stated.
Such incident has accustomed in the name of safeguarding the community interest or mistaken identity. In many of such past incidents, the Community in good faith have tolerated enough with the sense of forgiveness.
However, the repeated atrocities meted to the innocent citizens have once again broken the secured feelings and called our attention to question the intention of the specific community i.e. the Meitei.
Therefore, in the light of this matter, we condemned the Meira Paibis working hand in gloves with the armed groups. We demand the state government to act and book the culprits within 48 hours and ensure the safety of the Commuters along the Imphal – Ukhrul road.
“We also demand that the traumatized victims should be compensated.Failing which, this shall be considered as a wilful act carried out in congruence with the state government and we shall act accordingly,” the organisation said.
