TKLD condemns the premeditated assault on Silent Village
Date: 3 May 2013 | Delhi /
The Tangkhul Katamnao Long Delhi (TKLD) vehemently condemns the premeditated assault on Silent Village on 3rd-05-2013. We demand stringent punishment for hooligans who have taken the law in their hands and orchestrated such unlawful barbaric act.
We deplore such wanton acts of violence which have inflicted immense sufferings to the people of Silent Village. Unjustifiable act of burning granaries, destroying the resources of livelihood and for the outrageous act of rendering thousand homeless, we demand that the perpetrators be book and brought to justice.
It may also be mentioned that in December 2012, Ukhrul bound buses were attacked and inflicted injuries to students going home for Christmas. Laptop, mobile phones, cash and other commodities were looted and women were molested but no actions were taken by the Manipur government. Such lackadaisical attitude of the government has encouraged the offender; It is high time that the government deal with it seriously and restore the trust deficit.
To avoid further fallout between communities, the Centre and Government of Manipur should ensure safety of the traumatised citizens and address the immediate requirements of the victims.
We applaud the courage of Silent Villagers for not retaliating in contemptible manner. We share the pain and sorrow of the families whose houses were gutted down and rendered homeless. Our prayers are with you ever as you seek to uphold non-violence and promote peace among communities.
