Imphal, February 15 2016:
Senapati District Students' Association (SDSA) has denounced the acts of Manipur police commandos, wherein the Naga Students' Federation (NSF) members who were on their way to Ukhrul from Kohima via Senapati to attend the Lui-Ngai-Ni festival were roughed up and assaulted yesterday at Mantripukhri at around 6.30 am.
According to a statement issued by the general secretary of SDSA, Newman Polah, the vehicle carrying the NSF office bearers, which bears NL registration number plate was selectively stopped and even after disclosing their identities and purpose of their official trip for Lui-Ngai-Ni, the Manipur police commandos continued to detain, harass and created fear psychosis on the student leaders by calling in reinforcement on the spot.
SDSA views the harassment meted out to the apex Naga Student leaders as an injury to all the Nagas and described the incident as totally unacceptable.
It has urged the Home Department to initiate necessary action against all those police personnel involved in the incident.
