Imphal, April 25: Coming out strongly against the killing of Haorambam Robi Meetei (52) of Lilong Chajing Konjeng Leikai by KCP (MTF) on the night of April 23, the JAC formed to decry the killing has also categorically raised the demand for issuing weapons to all the citizens to defend themselves as the lives of innocent people are not safe anymore in the State.

Addressing a press conference in this connection today, L Maipak, secretary of the JAC Against the Brutal Killing of H Robi Meetei said that Robi was an innocent person leading a simple life.

So the JAC would not be able to accept the charges levelled against him after being killed by KCP (MTF).

Stating that the demand of the UG groups would never been fulfilled without the support of the people, Maipak pointed out that if a person is guilty then he/she should be given a chance instead of killing and heaving charges.

As the lives of the innocent people are not safe any more and the Government is not in a position to protect them, the JAC would press on the Government for issue weapons to all the citizens to protect themselves, Maipak announced.

He also informed that henceforth restriction would be imposed on the entry and movement of outsiders in Lilong Chajing area from 7 pm to 6 pm every day.

All those who defy the restriction would be ready to face with the consequences, he warned.

Meanwhile, it is said that the JAC will hold a meeting with the Chief Minister at 10 am tomorrow to discuss the matter and other issues related to the demands of the JAC.

The demands of the JAC include issuing license gun to all the people of Lilong Chajing area, payment of ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakhs to the family of the deceased, offering of a suitable Govt job to one of the family members, installation of solar lamps along the roads and by-lanes of Lilong Chajing area, opening of security check posts in all the four directions of Chajing Khul and providing a loud speaker.
