Imphal, August 19 2021:
Ichum Keirap Kom Village Authority appealed to the Government to award befitting punishments to the perpetrators involved in the incident of Ichum Keirap Kom of July 17 .
A press release issued by the Village Chief in this context also stated that 'Federation of Haomee' is an apex body of the natives of the State and it has been voicing for the rights of the natives.
Therefore it is the right of the Federation to intervene and look into the matter of Ichum Keirak Kom and no other communities should not try to tarnish the image of the Federation and mislead the public, added the press release.
The press release continued that no members of a particular community should spread false propaganda against the Chief of Ichum Keirap Kom and stated that allegations levelled against him are baseless as no work in the village can be taken up without the approval of the village authority.
The Ichum Keirap Kom Village Authority also stated that trial will be conducted against those who defy the law of the land.
Yelhoumee Kanba Apunba Lup (YKAL) has also extended support to the cause of Ichum Keirap Kom community in a statement issued today and said they respect every community of the State.
YKAL added in the statement that they support peaceful coexistence amongst all the communities but this can only happen when there is a sense of mutual respect and understanding between the communities.
All the community should try and understand the history of each other before throwing allegations based on made up history, added YKAL in the statement.
