The 6th death anniversary of A Rajen, Y Token and Th Kishan was observed at Mapari Ninghsingkol, near Cheirap Court, under the initiative of Mapari Ningshingkol Lup (MANIL) on Tuesday.
Speaking on the occasion, Y Kapur, convenor initiative of Mapari Ningshingkol Lup said Manipur is passing through a difficult period in its history and time has come for a critical analysis of the present state of affairs collectively by learned people, academicians and people at large.
He said a society that is devoid of critical engagement is comparable with a broken mirror.

It may be recalled, A Rajen, Y Token and Th Kishan were killed by cadres of NSCN (IM) on the same day in 2009 .
After an investigation by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Hopeson Ningshen, perpetrator of the crime, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a CBI court in 2014 .
Dr Gaikhangam Riamei, Asst Professor of Human Rights and Duties Education, Manipur University said human rights are universal rights and the principles of human rights are embedded in existing laws.
The judgement of CBI court affirms the existence of rule of law in this country.
It is the duty of the State to protect human rights and threat to human rights arose when the guarantor of human rights � State � becomes the law breaker, said Dr Gaikhangam.
Manipur is a multi-cultural society and there is probability of developing communal hatred if one does not try to acquire knowledge in a proper manner, observed Tongbram Mangibabu, chairman Planning Development Authority (PDA) Manipur.
Floral tributes were paid to the departed souls by relatives; friends and concerned citizens of Manipur.
