Imphal, July 07 2013:
Strongly criticising the State Government for alleged inaction in rounding up individuals accused of gang-raping a 17-year old girl from Yairipok area, the JAC (Changamdabi) formed in connection with the incident has threatened to launch intense agitation if punitive action is further delayed.
JAC representatives speaking to media persons at Manipur press Club lamented that inspite of the victim girl identifying one of the accused persons as VDF personnel Md Tajkhan (20) of Yairipok Singda no punitive action has been taken so far.
Moreover, the main culprit currently detained in the custody of the VDF is a mockery of the legal procedure for which the Chief Minister as well as the DyCM should explain for the victim girl had personally narrated her horrendous ordeal to both, the JAC leaders maintained while informing that the CM had even assured suitable action within two days of the girl giving her statement.
The JAC has representatives of 34 women, students and other State as well as local level organisations.
