Speaking on the sidelines of the sit-in, Khangabok Apunba Meira Paibi Lup vice-president Kh Sunita Devi strongly condemned the disproportionate and excessive use of force by the Assam Rifles against civilians at Pallel recently which killed two people and injured more than 200 unarmed civilians.
She also urged the Government to take appropriate action against the erring personnel of Assam Rifles and initiate a judicial enquiry into the incident to probe the loss of lives and injuries caused.
"Chief Minister N Biren Singh should resign on moral grounds if he is not able to protect the lives and properties of the public'', she added.
Placards with the writings such as, "Withdraw Assam Rifles from Manipur", "Implement NRC in Manipur", "We condemn brutal assault of Meitei women by AR", "We Want Peace", "Safeguard territorial integrity of Manipur", "Go back AR", "Long Live Manipur", "Deport illigal immigrants", etc were extensively used at the sit-in.
