Imphal, October 16 2014:
Strongly condemning the thrashing of engineering student T Michael Lamjathang by some local youth in Bangalore, BJP Manipur Pradesh President Th Chaoba has demanded early arrest and exemplary punishment to the culprits.
Addressing a press conference held at their Nityaipat Chuthek office, Th Chaoba expressed serious concern over frequent harassments meted out to North East people in Delhi, Bangalore and other Indian cities.
He said that officials and Government representatives from UP, Bihar and Union Home Ministry visited the State and not only took stock of the situation but also demanded action against the culprits when an altercation broke out at the campus of NIT Manipur.
On the other hand, it is not known to the public whether similar steps have been taken by the Government of Karnataka regarding the brutal assault of T Michael Lamjathang Haokip for not speaking Kannada in Bangalore on October 14 night.
However, BJP Manipur Pradesh would urge the Union Home Minister and Karnataka Government to take action against the culprits.
In the meantime, Th Chaoba also extended greetings to the womenfolk of the State ahead of Ningol Chakkouba festival.
He wished that the festival brings change, peace and harmony in the State.
