Imphal, July 28 2021:
Condemning the July 20 mob lynching incident that led to death of one Moulana Riyashad Ali alias Boicha at Leishangthem Khul, All Manipur Muslim Students' Organisation (AMMSO) has demanded the government for passing an Anti-Mob Lynching Bill so that such incident does not recur in the state.
In a release, AMMSO vice president Yunush Ali demanded the government to give stringent punishment to all the culprits involved in the mob lynching incident.
This incident is not the first one; many innocent people have become victims of mob lynching in the past, Yunush said and maintained that Riyashad Ali was falsely accused of being a vehicle lifter.
It is unfortunate that some people openly support the mob lynchers on social media.
Subsequently, it becomes doubtful whether the supporters were also involved in the mob lynching incident, he opined, while urging the government to look into the conduct of these supporters as well.
Yunush further demanded the government for ensuring justice of Riyashad Ali without further delay.
