Imphal, May 11 2023:
The Organising Committee of General As-sembly for User's Commu-nity has condemned the statement of Manipur's security advisor Kuldiep Singh which has created sense of insecurity among the drug users community.
In a release, Committee convenor Jogesh Maibam referred to Kuldiep Singh's statement that out of the to-tal 65 people who have lost their lives in the communal violence a large number of them are drug users.
Enquiring as to what was the rationale for such disparaging remarks from Kuldiep, which amounted to prejudice against drug user community, the re-lease said "his statement has no basis but has only slutshamed the entire drug users community" .
The release further urged the security advisor to issue clarification in connection with his statement as the drug users are already fac-ing a challenging situation despite improvement in many aspects.
