Thoubal, May 23 2023:
In support of CO-COMI's call for democratic protest, Women Development Committee Heirok organised a sit-in protest at Wangkhem Keithei on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media, Wangkhem Meira Paibi sec-retary Lairelakpam Birmala Devi asserted that the people of Manipur will not tolerate any forces challenging the emotional and territorial integrity of Manipur as the masses want peaceful co-ex-istence.
While condemning the unlawful activities and at-tacks carried out by So0 Kuki militants on the Meitei community, the secretary urged the state and central governments to look into the matter seriously and take up necessary measures so as to bring normalcy at the earliest.
During the protest, the protestors held placards in-scribed with slogans such as "Implement NRC in state immediately", "Save integrity of Manipur", "Formulate pol-icies to safeguard the indige-nous people", "Confine So0 Kuki militants to designated camps", etc.
