Imphal, June 03 2013:
Condemning the alleged murder of Reingamphy Awungshi inside her room in New Delhi, the The Great June Uprising Unity Day Observation Committee (GJUUDOC) Monday made a fervent appeal to the MPs of Manipur to use their might to bring the culprits in the case to justice.
Speaking to reporters at UCM office here today, GJUUDOC chairman KT Rahman alleged there is tacit knowledge that the mainland India discriminates the Northeasterners on various grounds.
Rahaman also appealed to the two MPs of the state to use their strength to help bring all the culprits in the Awungshi killing case to justice.
The 21- year -old girl from Ukhrul district of Manipur was mysteriously found dead in her room on May 29 in South Delhi.
"Responsibility for any unpleasant situation that arises out of denial of justice to the case must be owned up by both the state and Central Governments," he cautioned.
Y Nabachandra, vice-chairman, GJUUDOC, who was also present there, said the committee condemned the killing of Awungshi in the strongest terms blaming the mainland India for racial profiling against the people of the region.
