Imphal, May 12 2024:
Imagi Meira has urged for arresting person(s) involved in threatening those speaking the truth and the media disseminating the truth to the people, within 15 days.
In a press meet at Manipur Press Club here Sunday afternoon, Imagi Meira convenor Th Sujata said that with regard to the prevailing situation in the state, the mothers have been guarding their children deep into the night.
In addition to facing many dangers, the mothers have been threatened for demanding appropriate action against people involved in violent activities during the recent Lok Sabha election in the state.
On top of this, even media persons, who are trying to disseminate the truth to the public, have been intimidated, she decried.
Questioning the future state of Manipur if such wrongdoers are allowed to go scot-free, she observed how many "unidentified" culprits are carrying out such acts without reprisal, which is unfortunate.
Thus, she stressed the need for apprehending such culprits and making their identity public and urged the government to arrest the culprits within 15 days, failing which Imagi Meira may have to take to legal recourse.
