Thoubal, January 21 2023:
Demanding to hand over the Pallel drug-haul case involving 5 police commandos to the CBI, Thoubal District Congress Committee organised a sit-in-demonstration in front of its Wangbal office on Saturday.
Speaking on the sidelines of the demonstration, Committee president N Lukhoi expressed that the state of affairs in Manipur is very tense as far as the issue of drugs is concerned.
With the police personnel, who are under oath to safeguard the life and property of people and save the youth from committing unwanted crimes, joining the drug business, the situation has seriously aggravated and it is not a good sign at all.
Security personnel getting caught in the drug cases at this point of time is in total contradiction to the "War on drugs" campaign.
Therefore, the government needs to hand over the Pallel drug-haul case involving security personnel to the CBI for impartial investigation so that no stone is left unturned and that all culprits are brought to justice.
The protestors also took out a rally after the sit-in along NH 102 and formed human chains while shouting slogans like "Chief Minister should resign on moral ground", "Hand over Pallel drug-haul case to CBI", etc.
