AMAND (Association of Manipuri Diaspora) Pune organized a press conference in Pune on 21 July 2023, to condemn the barbaric acts towards women which got surfaced in social media on July 19, 2023.
Ms. Nirmala Salam, AMAND executive, spoke to the media, deeply condemned the inhuman act by the nano fraction of the community. She added that severe punishments must be given to all the people involved in this crime and they as a Meitei community are strictly against such barbaric acts.
However, it would be wrong to defame the entire Meitei community. Such instances of sexual assaults had happened in the past, but it had never happened that a community is defamed as a consequence.
Mrs Nirmala also appealed to media that both the sides of the communities are badly affected, and it will not be correct to be biased to one side on the basis of a number of social media posts, images, and videos. She appealed to the media to come to Manipur and do the reality check. Lastly, she appealed Prime Minister Modi to take immediate and strict actions to bring normalcy to Manipur.
