Speaking on the sidelines of the protest, a Meira paibi member identified as Malembi condemned failure of both state and central governments to end the conflict lingering for over nine months.
While asserting that they will never allow the government forces to arrest village volunteers and Arambai Tenggol as they been shielding the vulnerable villages from armed aggression by the Kukis, she said that state force, Arambai Tenggol and village volunteers are all equal to them.
