Imphal, January 07 2013:
Even if there are many criminal cases relating to rape in the State, no more than 10 rapists have been punished so far, said Advocate Khaidem Mani.
He was addressing the 73rd foundation day celebration of All Manipur Nupi Marup today.
Advocate Khaidem Mani urged on fitting punishment against rape accused in order to check incidents of rape.
Though he stressed on the need to deliver fitting punishment against rape accused, the Advocate did not endorse the idea of capital punishment to rape accused as it required more protracted legal proceedings.
The foundation day celebration programme was also graced by Prof Ksh Bimola Devi of MU and secretary of Senior Citizen for Society as the special guest.
Former leader of All Manipur Nupi Marup, M Kadambini Devi; and leader of AMNM T Ibemhal Devi; Patron member of AMNM Y Ibeni; and president of AMNM Sorojini Devi also graced the event as the guests of honour and president respectively.
Prof Ksh Bimola emphasised on education for girl child while saying that education is the only tools that can change a mindset.
