HSA condemns Assam Rifles town commander's action
18 Feb 2013 Imphal
CONDEMNATION
The Hmar Students' Association (HSA), Manipur Region condemns the recent untoward military operation carried out by the town commander of 46 Assam Rifles, Churachandpur against the leaders of the Hmar People's Convention (Democratic) – HPC(D). The military operation not only violates the terms and conditions of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) to which the HPC(D) is a signatory; but also disturbs the peaceful environment that has been nurtured with great difficulty.
The Government of Manipur as well as the higher authorities of the Assam Rifles should seriously check and monitor the unnecessary high-handedness of the Major who is merely pursuing his vested personal whims and interest.
As the peace process is still in a vulnerable though significant stage; the newly appointed town commander of 46 Assam Rifles should be sensitive enough to understand his irresponsible conduct. In this critical juncture, all the signatories of the SoO Agreement ought to respect and uphold their commitment for all purposes and for all time to come in the interest of securing just peace.
Such rash and immature act of an army officer in pursuit of vain adventurism should not be allowed to be repeated as it jeopardise the hard-earned peace process. The HSA demands that the town commander of the 46 Assam Rifles (Churachandpur) be booked for his severe misconduct and violations.
