Dimapur, June 08 2014:
Tangkhul Shanao Long, Delhi (TSLD) has strongly condemned the attack on a young couple from Manipur at Kotla Mubarakpur in Delhi on the night of May 27 while they were returning home after dinner and said that it was a great shame that the lawbreakers also belong to our home state.
The Delhi based Tangkhul women organisation said the accused not only outraged the modesty of the young woman by sexually molesting her, but they also grievously assaulted her husband, hitting him with wooden clubs as well as bricks, leaving him bleeding.
The use of derogatory words by the attackers is also a great cause of concern, it added.
"At a time when we, as a united North-east family, are trying to fight discrimination and racism that we face every day outside our states, we are deeply saddened by the occurrence of this episode.
We demand that all the guilty be arrested and punished in accordance with the law," TSLD stated.
