Imphal, May 18 2014 :
The campaign 'Fight 4 Your Pride' launched recently by some groups of youths from the North East region in New Delhi reached Imphal on Monday.
"We'll take every possible step to fight against racism meted out to NE people in any corner of the country," Rahul Anand, president of Fight 4 Your Pride, pledged while talking to media at Manipur Press Club here.

He cited several incidents of racial profiling against people of NE origin staying in other States, especially mainland India and said that the campaign was launched in 2010 in the aftermath of a series of racial attacks and discrimination against people of the region in New Delhi.
The members of the group had earlier visited several parts of the region including Guwahati.
During the visit, the team interacted with many student organizations.
The group is also planning to set up a hostel exclusively for NE students in the national capital.
The proposed hostel is likely to incorporate several safety facilities such as adequate security protection, legal aid and educational guidance.
