Imphal, May 26 2023:
While contending that national and international media outlets are covering the present situation in the state by focusing solely on religious grounds like burn-ing of temples and churches, Republican Party of India (A) national secretary Mahesh-war Thounaojam lamented that the media outlets have failed to report the victim's perspective where armed Kuki militants killed inno-cent people and destroyed houses and properties.
He was speaking on the sidelines of a sit-in protest staged against the killing of innocent civilians by Kuki militants under SoO pact and destruction of properties at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi on Thursday.
Maheshwar further ques-tioned whether armed Kuki militants under SoO march-ing together with Kuki people can be called a peaceful ral-ly.
It is unfortunate that the media outlets are spreading wrong propagandas instead of discussing how the riot broke out and what has been done since then, he stated, while informing that he came to Delhi to narrate the present situation of the turmoil and the grievances faced by the innocent Meitei civilians.
Several Meiteis residing in Delhi and students along with supporters took part in the sit-in protest.
