Imphal, January 27 2018:
Members and volunteers of he People Action Committee (PAC), North East Forum for International Solidarity (NEFIS) and Youth's Forum for Protection of Human Rights (YFPHR) burnt the effigies of Governor Dr Najma Heptulla, Chief Minister of UP, Yogi Adityanath and Minister of Home Affairs Rajnath Singh, at Uripok Achom Leikai today in connection with the failure of the authorities to provide any positive response regarding the mysterious death of Pravish Chanam.
The members raised slogans like 'we want justice', 'Yogi Adityanath down down', 'Rajnath Singh down down' and 'We want CBI enquiry' .
It may be noted that on January 17, the associations had threatened to launch intense agitation if the State and the Central Government fail to hand over the case to the CBI.
The protesters stated that the burning of effigies is just the first step and demanded the State and Central Government to take up necessary actions regarding the case so as to avoid any untoward incident/ social unrest in the State.
