Imphal, July 25 2009:
While conveying solidarity to suffering of family members of those killed and injured in the July 23 firing at BT Road, the proscribed UNLF alleged that such indiscriminate firing at crowded place is yet another testimony of police commandos' unflinching commitment in executing agenda of the Central Govt at any cost.
UNLF's senior publicity officer Ksh Yoiheiba, in a statement, likened police commandos to 'decoy soldiers' of Govt of India and affirmed that observation of the RPF as well as bold statements from the general public need appreciation and introspection.
Insisting that police commandos committing excesses even to the extent of killing innocent persons under the pretext of containing insurgency movement is innumerable with similar acts also carried out by Indian security forces, Yoiheiba said Chief Minister O Ibobi needs to own responsibility for these suffering of the people.
The UNLF also accused MLAs of ruling as well as opposition parties of blindly endorsing the CM's version on the incident when O Ibobi, in fact, misled the House with proclamation that 'wrong-doers' deserve death.
Describing that MLAs' stance as ignorance of their own selves, Yoiheiba opined that even a layman understands that many of these MLAs have criminal backgrounds and said it is ironic that such legislators have been accusing UGs of being ideology-bereft and wealth accumulator.
Expressing that such slants, however, do not include the UNLF organisation, Yoiheiba said if there is any truth in such accusation there is little doubt O Ibobi singh is on top.
He also alleged that of all the people, commandos are the most corrupt who seldom wink before committing the most heinous criminal act.
