Imphal, April 10 2016:
The JAC constituted in connection with the controversial death of Md Farooque Khan (18) s/o late Md Baderuddin and Md Saddam (14) s/o Md Basiruddin of Lilong Turel Ahanbi Kaleikhong has called a general strike along Mayai Lambi from April 10 midnight till 6 pm of April 11 against the Government's failure to fulfil their demands.
The JAC was demanding proper investigation into the killing of the two boys and punishment of all the people involved in the killing.
If the Government refuses to act even after a general strike has been called along Mayai Lambi, the JAC would impose general strike all over the State from April 11 midnight.
The JAC held a meeting with different civil society organisations at Lilong Kaleikhong today.
The meeting said that the brutal physical assault of Md Farooque Khan (18), Md Saddam (14) and Md Jamir on April 7 was a challenge against a particular community.
Md Jamir (14) s/o Abdul Gaffar of Haoreibi Awang Leikai who is currently undergoing treatment in a critical condition should be handed over to the JAC or his family at the earliest, reads another resolution.
