SHILLONG, APR 10: The Thma U Rangli Juki (TUR) on Wednesday condemned the incident of violence that took place at Mawlai Mawroh which resulted in the death of one labourer and injury to another.

In a statement, TUR leader Angela Rangad said this incident follows the gruesome attack at Ichamati and also incidents of blatant threats to labourers at Sohra.

“Targeted violence such as these are a shame to our society as a whole and all right-thinking citizens of Meghalaya need to condemn them and call for swift arrests of the perpetrators,” she said adding “ We also need to call out our representatives and pressure group leaders who use such incidents to fuel narratives of hate by questioning the processes of law that book the criminals.”

“We need to be mindful that remaining indifferent to such instances of targeted violence will allow for a culture of impunity and violence to set in and a take-over by criminally minded groups and this will be detrimental to us all. How minorities are treated in society is the marker of the nature of that society itself,” she said.

“If we as a community do not condemn and isolate our own local majoritarian violence and communal ideas then we have no moral right to be anxious about majoritarian violence and discourse in India at large. Silence about criminality and mafiosi behaviour in our own backyard is not an option,” she added.
