Condemn the killing of Headmaster Muhammad Hasmad Ali
November 10, 2015
Manipur Students’ Association of Delhi (MSAD) strongly condemn the killing of Muhammad Hasmad Ali alias Babu of Keirao Makting Awang Leikai. Such culture of killing in Manipur based on false allegation persists because of State government’s lack of concern, political will and inability to bring justice to the victim on time. We also condemn police lathi charge and atrocities against the people who were demanding justice for Md Hasmasd Ali.
On the other hand, Manipur Students’ Association Delhi strongly condemn the media groups such as Hundustan Times and New York Times for their alleged linking of this unfortunate incident with Dadri lynching and beef politics. In Manipur beef is not banned and incident of killing due to beef eating and beef politics have never happened in Manipur. Media should not try to politicize this incident with beef politics.
We demand:
1) Government should take immediate action against the culprits and bring justice to late Md. Hasmad Ali.
2) Government should take action against the police brutality and Lathi–charge.
3) Government should give proper compensation and a suitable government job to the family member.
4) Government should take proper steps to prevent any untoward incidents and divisions based on sectoral line and should take all the responsibility of the incident.
5) Hindustan Times and New York Times should clarify and apologize for their un-professional and unethical practice of journalism.
6) People should not indulge in rumour and should stand united to fight for justice and punish the culprits.
We condole the death and give due respect to our teacher late Muhammad Hasmad Ali for his sacrifice for the students community in his life. We stand by JAC and other progressive organizations to fight for justice for late Muhammad Hasmad Ali and extend our solidarity support to the family.
