Imphal, December 29 2014:
MLA Paonam Brojen has categorically stated that he would not condone or protect any man accused of committing crimes against women.
Referring to media reports about the rape of a 32 year old woman by one Moirangthem Tombisana (40) of Langathel Moirang Leikai who is said to be his active supporter, the MLA said that more than 25 people including security escorts and office staff are present in his quarters most of the time except Sundays.
It is surprising when and how Tombisana raped the woman.
"Nonetheless I would not protect or condone Tombisana who has not returned to my quarters after going home on Christmas eve", Brojen said.
Brojen said that he was informed by the woman's father on December 23 that she and Tombisana had illicit affairs.
"I did not interfere because it was a private matter", the MLA stated.
He pledged that he would cooperate fully in any process aimed at bringing justice.
