NEFIS APPEALS THAT THE HON’BLE SUPREME COURT SHOULD TAKE SUO MOTO COGNIZANCE OF HATE SPEECHES, COMMUNAL COMMENTS/STATEMENTS/ PROCLAMATIONS IN MANIPUR!
TAKE STRICT ACTION AGAINST ANY PUBLIC AUTHORITY FANNING COMMUNAL DISCORD!
North-East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) strongly condemns the hate speeches, communal comments/statements/proclamations being issued in Manipur. While all people have the democratic right to raise their concerns in a democratic manner, however the communal and hate speeches, especially of public authorities, are especially condemnable and need to be immediately addressed by the judiciary.
NEFIS demands that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India must intervene and take suo moto cognizance of such hate speeches and communal comments/statement/proclamations being made in Manipur, and take stern action against those involved in fanning communal discord among the communities.
Moreover, weapons and ammunition looted from the state armouries (cote) and police training centre should be recovered and the Hon’ble Supreme Court should ask the state government for a status report in this regard.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court should also ensure that all measures are taken to bring justice and peace to the whole state. Further, we earnestly appeal to all sections of society to stop violence against each other and initiate dialogue to find a political solution to the current crisis.
NEFIS also demands that all measures which have fueled the current tension should be withdrawn, and all communities should take a step back and put forth all the contentious issues for deliberation and larger consultation. In this respect, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission should be established to ensure justice and peace in the state so that people can safely return to their villages and rebuild their lives.
