Imphal, December 18 2024:
Imagi Meira has demanded a clarification from the State Government regarding the consistent harassment inflicted on its convenor Thokchom Sujata by the Delhi police.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club today, Maibam Sorni, coconvenor, Imagi Meira, stated that the Delhi Meetei Co-Ordinating Committee extended an invitation to the convenor to participate in the Nupi Lan observance ceremony.
Subsequently, a team accompanying Th Sujata left for Delhi on December 10.After their arrival, Delhi police prohibited the Imagi Meira convenor from participating in the ceremony and put her under house arrest.
Upon questioning the reason for her arrest, Delhi police informed them of "re ports" that Th Sujata was planning to initiate a "nude protest" in Delhi.
Denying any such plans on behalf of Imagi Meira, the co-convenor further added that the Delhi police initially refused to accept a complaint from the team questioning why Th Sujata was being subjected to such harassment.
The complaint has now been accepted, she added.
However, plain-clothed Delhi police officials continue to closely monitor Th Sujata's every move, she alleged.
If the harassment from Delhi police continues unabated, Imagi Meira will be compelled to take up necessary measures.
Things have taken a drastic turn if people cannot even raise their voice in the country's capital, maintained the Imagi Meira co-convenor.
