Thoubal, June 01 2023:
Strongly condemn-ing the one sided statement of Union Home minister Amit Shah and terming it as unacceptable, womenfolk of Wangjing staged protest demonstration in Wangjing Keithel on Thursday.
The protestors were dissat-isfied with Amit Shah's silence over the atrocities committed by the Kuki militants against the Meitei community and resorted to burning down of Meitei houses in Moreh, Serou and Churachandpur but warned of stringent ac-tion against individuals who snatched arms from security personnel and ordered for conducting combing op-erations if the arms are not returned.
Speaking to reporters at the sidelines of the protest, one Sanatombi pointed out that armed Kuki militants continue to burn down houses and slay people.
It is very unfortunate that the Union Home minis-ter has ordered crackdown of those persons who have snatched arms from security personnel but kept mum on the atrocities committed by armed Kuki militants under SoO.
As mothers, we cannot accept the statement of Amit Shah under any circumstanc-es, she added.
The protestors shouted slogans like "We condemn the one sided attitude of Amit Shah", "We condemn the si-lent attitude of CM Biren", "The territorial integrity of Manipur cannot be destroyed" and lhere can be no separate administration for the Kukis" .
