Imphal, September 26 2023:
The Thangmeiband Kendra Development Organisation (TAKDO) has served a 48 hour ultimatum to the Government to arrest all the Kuki terrorists involved in the murder of the two Meetei students who went missing in July.
Pictures of the two Meetei students Luwangbi Linthoingambi Hijam of Tera Tongbram Leikai and Phijam Hemanjit Singh of Takyel Kolom Leikai are going viral on social media.
While one of the pictures shows their dead bodies lying next to one another, the other shows them sitting with two armed men clearly visible in the background.
TAKDO organised a programme at Khoyathong Andolan Keithel and offered floral tributes to the photos of the two students, today.
At the function, Thangmeiband AC MLA who is a chief patron of TAKDO said that the merciless killing of the two innocent students has hurt every Manipuri to the core.
Saying that he and majority of the Meeteis condemned when two Kuki women were paraded naked by a mob in the initial stage of the conflict, Joykisan rued that none from the Kuki side, however, speak against or condemn the cold blooded murder of the two Meetei students.
Why are all the Kuki people, intellectuals and religious leaders still silent over the killing of two Meetei students in the most inhumane way, he asked and expressed hope that Kuki people will reveal the identities of those who murdered the two students.
TAKDO women's wing leader Sundari said that the violence in Manipur was instigated by Kukis.
She asked if all elected representatives are going to allow more people to die as long as their families remain unharmed.
Many Meeteis were arrested for parading two Kuki women naked and the same compelled even the Prime Minister to break his silence on Manipur violence but what has the Government done so far for all the atrocities committed by Kukis, she asked.
She cautioned that TAKDO will launch a series of agitations if the Government fails to arrest the people involved in the murder of the two Meetei students.
