Imphal, July 29 2020:
The All Tribal Rights' Protection Forum Manipur (ATRPFM) has demanded a CBI inquiry in the case of Th Brinda and other similar cases.
The ATRPFM, in a statement said, "we highly appreciate the slogan of Chief Minister 'War on drugs', however the actual facts on the ground looks quite the opposite which is a great disappointment for the public.
"There have been allegations and counter allegations among the elected people's representatives, CSOs and police officers.
This is a clear indication that there is something wrong in the system.
"There also have been a series of incidents of drug smuggling where allegations of involvement of elected representatives were raised" .
In the case of Addl SP Thounaojam Brinda also there is doubt about the transparency, accountability, integrity and sincerity of the State Government in fighting drug smuggling, it said.
"As far as our knowledge is concerned Th Brinda is a committed and sincere officer and the State Government is not expected to fight against such a committed police officer in spite of all the odds in order to save the future generation of our people," it added.
