Speaking to media persons today at Manipur Press Club, secretary of Spastic Society Laishram Token (Ricky) said that on July 8 during a public meeting held at Wakhong Maka Leikai under Khundrakpam AC, one Sarangthem Samungou had insulted with rude remarks in public a person who lost both his legs in bomb blast incident last December .
Strongly condemning the public insult, Ricky demanded the authority concerned to take up stringent action against Samungou.
He also asked whether the victim had committed any crime to the society which deserved such public insult.

As such, legal action should be taken against the offender in order to prevent the recurrence of such unwarranted acts.
