TURA, July 21: Citizens of Tura, led by the women organization Tura Mothers Union is holding a public meeting at Tura artificial turf football stadium in Chandmari tomorrow (July 22nd) to express condemnation against the violence targeting innocent civilians, especially women and children, in Manipur where close to 200 people have been killed in the ethnic conflict, a majority of the victims Kuki tribals, burning down of entire villages, churches and the murder and rape of innocents.
The public gathering to express solidarity with the victims of Manipur and condemn the violence will take place at 3 PM. Prayers will also be said during the event.
Garo Hills has been shocked by the scale of the violence in Manipur and the failure of the central and state governments, headed by the BJP, to stop this violence even after two and a half months.
The violence broke out on May 3rd and there has been no end to the barbaric attacks and cold blooded murders of innocent people, the victims include teenagers, fathers and mothers, women and even children, including the burning alive of a child and his mother inside an ambulance in Imphal city as they tried to get to a hospital to treat the little boy of a gunshot wound.
But what has shaken the conscience of the country, including Garo Hills, has been the humiliation and attack on women, particularly two ladies who were paraded naked and assaulted, with the younger one gang-raped by cold blooded rioters led by Meitei men in a village just outside Imphal city on May 4th. The video of the incident was splashed across social media on Wednesday and sparked an outrage across the country, prompting the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to finally speak up on the Manipur violence after having remained silent for well over 78 days from the time the unrest began.
